Louisville Archdiocese sees 11 more suits filed



Associated Press

        LOUISVILLE — Eleven more lawsuits have been filed against the Archdiocese of Louisville alleging church officials were aware of sexual misconduct with minors but did nothing about it.

        The latest lawsuits, filed by 11 men on Monday, bring a total of 50 people who have sued the Roman Catholic Bishop of Louisville — the corporate name of the Louisville archdiocese — since April 19.

        The plaintiffs each claim they reported the alleged incidents, but the diocese did not take appropriate disciplinary action.

        Officials with the Louisville Police Department's Crimes Against Children Unit have said the archdiocese is “fully” cooperating with a criminal investigation.

        Five of the latest plaintiffs allege that the Rev. Louis E. Miller sexually abused them as minors when they were members of parishes where he was the pastor. The alleged incidents occurred in the 1960s and 1970s at Holy Spirit Church, St. Elizabeth of Hungary School and St. Aloysius Church and School, according to the suits filed in Jefferson Circuit Court.

        Father Miller had already been named in 20 other lawsuits. He has denied all allegations.

        In March, Father Miller, 71, retired after allegations were made public.

        Four of the other latest plaintiffs claim the late Rev. Arthur L. Wood sexually abused them when they were children during the 1960s. Father Wood died in 1983.

        Two other alleged victims accuse the Rev. Daniel C. Clark of sexual abuse in the 1980s. He has been permanently removed from public ministry and is living in a monastery.
