Retired Teacher Sues Diocese, Claims Priest Delivering Christmas Cards Raped Her While Watching Steelers’ Game

A retired teacher from Ross Township has filed a civil lawsuit against the Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese and former priest, Fr. Cyprian Duru, claiming she was raped by him in December of 2016. At the time, Kathy Coll was 65 and says the attack occurred when the priest came by to deliver a Christmas card while she was watching a Pittsburgh Steelers’ football game. She says she was assaulted and raped in the basement of the home where she had gone to a refrigerator to get something to drink.
