Anti-mob law invoked in sex cases March 25, 2002 WASHINGTON: Lawyers are invoking a statute previously used to round up crime bosses in a new legal nightmare for the Catholic church over child abuse by priests. Claiming the church hierarchy is involved in a conspiracy of silence to protect priests who abuse children, the suit filed in Hannibal, Missouri, comes under the Racketeering Influence and Corrupt Organisations Act and targets former Florida bishop Anthony O'Connell, who resigned this month after admitting to molesting a seminary student in the 1970s. The law includes provisions for civil lawsuits when someone is harmed by a "pattern" of illegal activity. FROM http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,4013124%255E2703,00.html
