Suspended Jesuit priest named in Haiti sexual abuse lawsuit

A suspended Jesuit priest who was once Fairfield University’s chaplain is accused in a lawsuit of sexually abusing a teenager at a charity in Haiti supported by the college.

A 26-year-old man sued Friday in federal court in Connecticut, naming the Rev. Paul Carrier, Douglas Perlitz and others. He’s seeking $20 million.

The man alleges Perlitz and Carrier sexually abused him when he was teenager a decade ago at Project Pierre Toussaint School in Cap-Haitien. The man’s lawyer says it’s the 39th lawsuit accusing Perlitz of sexual abuse and the first to accuse Carrier of molestation.
