Michael Doe v. Shawn Pahl, et al.: A member of a church youth choir who was sexually abused by the choir’s director has been awarded $400,000 in damages by a judge.

Because he was a minor when the abuse occurred, the male plaintiff is known only as Michael Doe in court documents. The defendant, Shawn Pahl, was hired as a part-time organist and choir director more than a decade ago at St. John the Evangelist Church in New Britain.
