A Roman Catholic priest who was accused of molesting two women has sued the Archdiocese of Miami for ruining his reputation by publicizing the allegations.
Father Jan Malicki was sued in 1998 for alleged molestations at St. David Catholic Church in Davie. The archdiocese suspended Malicki, but prosecutors never filed charges because they thought they couldn’t get a conviction.
