From New York-
Gregory Malia, the former Northeastern Pennsylvania Episcopal vicar dubbed "the partying priest" by a New York City tabloid, is being sued by his 24-year-old daughter for assault, battery and infliction of emotional distress.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in Luzerne County Court, is the latest legal twist in an ugly family drama that erupted two summers ago when Malia drew a gun during a fight outside a Jenkins Township bar.
Malia, 46, pleaded no contest last September to reckless endangerment and simple assault and agreed to serve two years of probation. Weeks after the fight, Malia's daughter filed a protection-from-abuse petition against him that included details of the altercation.
Now that same daughter, Marilyn, is seeking $100,000 in damages in a lawsuit that describes the conduct of Malia and his girlfriend, Angela Sweet, as "so outrageous in character and so extreme in degree" it went "beyond all possible bounds of decency."
Marilyn Malia also named Sweet as a defendant in the lawsuit.
Gregory Malia, who lives on Wall Street in New York City, could not be reached for comment. A telephone number connected to Sweet's Larksville address was disconnected.
