12/12/05 - N.J. close to lifting sex-abuse suit shield - Assembly's OK would all but make bill law, allowing assault victims to sue churches, charities by Jeffrey Gold Associated Press - Trenton - "Legislation that would allow childhood victims of sexual assault to sue churches, schools and other nonprofits for the actions of their employees is scheduled for a vote today in the state Assembly. The measure is opposed by the Roman Catholic Church, but if passed in the Assembly is likely to become law, since acting Gov. Richard J. Codey already voted for it in his role in the state Senate when it passed that house in May 2004, said a sponsor, Sen. Joseph F. Vitale, D-Middlesex." http://www.dailyrecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051212/NEWS02/512120310/1123/NEWS01
Fired priest sues Cardinal Egan for $5M by Carol Eisenberg 12/16/05 "A Newark priest has sued New York Cardinal Edward Egan and several other top church officials for $5 million, contending that he was terminated as a school director in 2003 for speaking out against bishops' cover-ups of clergy sex abuse. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by the Rev. Robert Hoatson in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, also alleges that Egan, along with Newark Archbishop John J. Myers and Albany Bishop Howard Hubbard, are "active homosexuals," who protected predatory priests out of fear those men might reveal their own secrets. While the suit claims that Hoatson "has personal knowledge" of the prelates' sexual activity, it provides no evidence to back that up. Hoatson's lawyer, John A. Aretakis, said Thursday several priests have agreed to provide "first-hand evidence of the sexual proclivities of the men we have mentioned when they are subpoenaed and put under oath." Joseph Zwilling, a spokesman for Egan, dismissed the allegations as "not only false, but libelous and malicious. There's not a word of truth to this."" http://www.nynewsday.com/news/local/manhattan/nyc-egan1216,0,5816934,print.story?coll=nyc-homepage-breaking2 www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
