Summary of Case: Jesse S. Linam was ordained for the
Galveston-Houston diocese in 1961. He assisted in parishes in Rosenberg,
Houston and Galveston before pastoring in Channelview, Freeport and
Bellview. In 1993 he was permanently removed from
ministry due to unspecified allegations of child sexual abuse from years
before. In 2002 he was the subject of a lawsuit, accused of having
sexually abused a boy at St. Andrew's in Channelview during 1973-1974.
The suit alleged that Linam had sexually abused "numerous minor boys"
between 1961 and 1993. It was dismissed due to the Texas statute of
limitations, which required those alleging abuse as minors to come
forward by age 20.
