Alleged victims say they were
abused by MacLaren chaplain
(AP) —- Seven men filed a lawsuit Monday claiming
they were physically and sexually abused by a Roman
Catholic priest while incarcerated at the MacLaren School
for Boys in the early 1970s.
The men each allege that they were “repeatedly physi
cally and sexually abused” as teenagers by Rev. Michael
Sprauer, who served as the chaplain at MacLaren between
1972 and 1975.
The complaint, which seeks upward o f $28 million, was
filed in Marion County Circuit Court. Among the named
defendants are Sprauer, the Archdiocese o f Portland and
the state o f Oregon.
It was believed to be the first time that the state has been
sued in connection with a sexual abuse case involving a
clergy member, although Oregon has been sued over other
incidents at the MacLaren facility in W oodburn, said
Daniel Gatti, the plaintiffs’ attorney.
