Broderick filed his suit in November in state Supreme Court in Fonda, claiming the Mazzarella family slandered him with their allegations of sexual impropriety not only with the children, but also with their mother and with a friend of the priest. He is seeking $500,000 in damages.

Montgomery County Court Judge Felix Catena is hearing that lawsuit as an acting Supreme Court judge after also presiding over Broderick's criminal trial in County Court. The father of the alleged victims, John Mazzarella II, said he objects to Catena's involvement
