Nuns accused of raping deaf children

Nine former students of the Boston School for the Deaf filed a lawsuit today alleging they were raped and beaten by nuns at the now-defunct school.

The plaintiffs accused at least 13 nuns in the lawsuit, along with a priest and a male athletic instructor at the school and a former top official in the Boston Roman Catholic Archdiocese, according to their lawyer, Mitchell Garabedian.
