Illinois man sues Pope, Vatican over sex abuse case
An Illinois man who says he was molested by a Wisconsin priest as a child filed a federal lawsuit Thursday accusing Pope Benedict XVI and senior Vatican officials of failing to protect children from a man the Vatican knew was a possible child molester.
The Vatican had no immediate comment, foreign media reported.
The plaintiff, identified in court papers as John Doe 16, said he was repeatedly molested by the Rev. Lawrence Murphy while he was a student at the Milwaukee-area St. John's School for the Deaf. The lawsuit, filed in Milwaukee, says the abuse occurred over a number of years and included incidents where Murphy solicited sex in the confessional.
Murphy, who died in 1998, is accused of sexually abusing some 200 boys at the school during that period.
