In 2002 the St. Petersburg diocese paid slightly more than $100,000 to the diocesan spokesman, Bill Urbanski, who accused Lynch of making sexual advances toward him. Lynch denied the allegations. For the out-of-court payment, Urbanski agreed not to press a civil lawsuit. The diocese called it a severance payment.
