From Alabama-A group of leaders from St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Vestavia Hills recently asked the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct at diocesan headquarters that happened 25 years ago.
The diocese has responded by having a law firm conduct an investigation, led by lawyer Augusta Dowd.
The diocese is investigating allegations by former employee Tyrone Lucas, who now goes by the name Titus Battle.
Battle says a male administrator — who died in 1990 at age 56 after working for the diocese since 1971 — forced him to submit to sexual acts, threatening to withhold his pay as an office worker and revoke his college scholarship paid by the diocese.
