The lawsuit accuses the Rev. John M. Fiala of repeatedly sexually assaulting the teen, including twice forcing him to have sex at gunpoint when Fiala was the pastor at Sacred Heart of Mary Parish in the remote community of Rocksprings.

And criminal charges were not filed at the time ... why?

Probably because the victim knew he would be excommunicated if he went to the police with his complaints.
