New Lawsuit Catches Movie Star Priest With His Frock Down
Most of the priests named in the lawsuit had been previously identified as abusers.However, the lawsuit identifies one priest whose name had not surfaced in the scandal: the Rev. David Hagan [NOT pictured, right], a well-known priest who died last year. Hagan ministered in North Philadelphia and he was twice depicted in films, once by actor George Kennedy in a movie about basketball player Hank Gathers.
In the suit, brothers Thomas and Willie Magnum said they were routinely abused by Hagan for three years, beginning in 1977 or 1978. The abuse took place at Hagan’s house, and on trips to the Jersey Shore, the suit claims.
