Philip Bucher, the retired priest being sued by Glenna McKitterick for sexual harassment, is asking that his April 20 deposition site be changed from Springfield to New Mexico where he relocated following his retirement.
Ms. McKitterick claimed she was fired from her job with the church after she refused to submit to Father Philip Bucher's sexual advances. She is suing Bucher, the Springfield-Cape Girardeau Diocese, Bishop John J. Liebrecht, Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church and Our Lady of the Ozarks Catholic Church.
According to documents filed Thursday in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, "Defendant Philip Bucher resides outside of Missouri and has no reason to return to the state. (He) did not move to avoid any obligation related to this case or to encumber plaintiff's prosecution of her claim."
