New civil lawsuits accuse two priests who served in three
Greater Lowell communties of sexual abuse, alleging that church leaders
knew about the incidents and did nothing to stop them. A Lowell man says he was abused for four years by the Rev. Richard O.
Matte, then at St. Louis De France Parish in Lowell.
And three brothers say they were molested more than 100 times each by the Rev. Mark Fleming, at John the Evangelist parish in Hudson, N.H., in the early 1980s. In the Lowell case, Derek Mousseau has sued Matte, Cardinal Bernard Law and the Archdiocese of Boston, saying that Law knew or should have known that Matte was allegedly committing sexual predatory acts. The lawsuit says Mousseau was 13 when the abuse began in 1989.
