Nine former students at a Roman Catholic school for the deaf filed a
lawsuit Tuesday alleging they were raped, beaten and tormented decades
ago by the nuns who ran the place.
They accused at least 14 nuns in the lawsuit. Also accused were a
priest and a male athletic instructor at the now-defunct Boston School
for the Deaf, as well as a former top official of the Boston
Archdiocese, according to their lawyer, Mitchell Garabedian.http://www.goupstate.com/news/20040512/suit-nuns-abused-school-for-deaf-students
The case is the first to allege widespread abuse by nuns in the
Boston area since the sex scandal that engulfed the archdiocese began in
2002.
