It has been reported that the investigation couldn’t proceed due to Fr. Corapi holding non-disclosure agreements from the witnesses, who cannot be interviewed.
The accuser also reportedly signed a non-disclosure agreement concerning anything which went on during her employment at Santa Cruz Media. Father Corapi is now suing the accuser for breach of contract. This sounds more and more like a mess of Father Corapi’s making.
It's clear that should the situation rise to the level of there being a credible allegation the very things he complains about being absent would be there. That the NDA is the hold up in the process means that he's using as his pretext to leave the priesthood the absence of things he could immediately have were he to waive the NDA. So, the NDA is more important to him than his vows. You're right, it's a mess of his own making at least in so far as his pretext for leaving the priesthood.
Now if there's no basis at all for the claims of the accuser, then why the rush to expect due process he should be sure he won't even need? It does look like the "all about me" aspect is way out of hand on his part, that's for sure.

When you get a job in any corporation like Santa Cruz Media, you are usually asked to sign a non disclosure agreement. It is not outside the norm to do so.
He has stated on his website that he was advised by a prominent Bishop to sue her because that would be the only way to get justice in this situation. Otherwise his case was going to be left to go on in perpetuity. It was going to be a he said she said scenario and the Church would have just left him in permanent suspension.
He sued after being advised by another Bishop to do so after the accuser had already turned him in to his superiors. As soon as they suspended him, it was already a no win situation for him. That was due to the way his case was already being handled within the Church.
