PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Another civil suit alleging priestly sexual abuse has been filed in Philadelphia.
Like a similar suit filed just three weeks ago, this one alleges not only the abuse — said this time to have occurred in the mid-’90s at Our Lady of Calvary parish in Northeast Philadelphia — but a cover-up by Archdiocesan officials including the former and current cardinals.
The court documents list the plaintiff as John Doe, but it was Phillip Gaughan, raised in Philadelphia and now residing in Delaware, who stepped before microphones today to describe his ordeal.
