"My client was sexually abused from approximately 1978 to 1982 when she was a teenager at Cardinal O'Hara High School by a Catholic priest, by a Franciscan," said Garabedian. "This abuse was ongoing and continuous for quite a while, and the perpetrator was Fr. Mark S. Andrzejczuk. It happened withing the Buffalo Diocese's boundaries, and we've sued all entities in the matter."
Garabedian also credited a recently passed piece of legislation for allowing this lawsuit to commence.
"This is an example how the Child Victim's Act helping a victim," he said. "My client was to turn 55 Sunday, so we filed suit before she turned 55 so she could meet the criteria in the statute of the Child Victim's Act."
Garabedian noted that he will be asking the court to personally represent Holler-Kennedy.
