Judge allows 26 to sue, claiming clergy sex abuse by Wayne Parry AP Newark, N.J. "A judge allowed lawsuits on behalf of 26 men, most of whom claim they were abused by a former Catholic priest in northern New Jersey, to proceed. The Diocese of Paterson had sought to dismiss the two suits on the grounds that too much time had passed since the acts in question had occurred. But Superior Court Judge Deanne Wilson, sitting in Morristown, rejected the request Wednesday afternoon. In the lawsuits, 21 of the plaintiffs claim they were abused by the Rev. James Hanley, a former priest who served in Mendham, among other places. Four other priests accused of abusing the remaining plaintiffs are named as defendants, as is the diocese. The lawsuits include a transcript of an interview the plaintiffs' lawyer, Greg Gianforcaro, conducted with Hanley last fall in which he admits having molested at least one young man." http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/104-11032004-394776.html
this one fwd from L Moss Sharman - describes crimes - Couple fights youth centre abuse suit By CP 11/10/04 Frederickton "Clifford and Mary Louise McCann say allegations that they were involved in the sexual abuse of boys at New Brunswick's infamous Kingsclear youth training centre are false, malicious and scandalous. The husband and wife are being sued by four former residents of the now-closed reformatory near Fredericton, which has been the subject of investigations and inquiries into the abuse of children. The McCanns, who now live in Ontario, filed a statement of defence in a New Brunswick court yesterday denying all accusations contained in the lawsuit....The alleged sexual misconduct took place in 1982, when the four former residents were either 14 or 15 years of age and Clifford McCann was an RCMP staff sergeant who occasionally visited the training school. The McCann home was located near the school and the couple acknowledge in their statement that all four boys visited their home....The training school housed young offenders and boys who couldn't fit into foster homes during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The four claimants in the lawsuit say that while they were at Kingsclear, McCann would take them on outings, ply them with cigarettes and liquor, and subject them to sexual touching, oral sex and anal sex. The four say in their statement of claim that they were also threatened by McCann. "He was threatened that he would never get out of the jail system if he did not submit to McCann's sexual demands and that he would never get out of jail if he ever told anyone of these sexual events," the statement of claim says, referring to former resident Jerry Dow, one of the four plaintiffs. Since some of the abuse is alleged to have occurred at the McCann home, the complainants say that Mary Louise McCann failed to protect them from her husband." http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/EdmontonSun/News/2004/11/10/pf-707802.html www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
