Nuns accused in orphanage abuse scandal
The sexual abuse crisis in America’s Roman Catholic Church has focused primarily on molestation by priests, but in Louisville, two dozen people are now suing an order of nuns that staffed an orphanage decades ago.
The allegations include accusing some nuns of molestation as well as charges against a now-dead priest. While experts agree the incidence of abuse by nuns has been much less frequent than assaults by male clergy, the phenomenon has gained some attention recently.
