Six men have sued the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, claiming
Church leaders concealed allegations that a priest sexually abused
children for decades.
The suits, filed in November by men from Maine, New Hampshire, and New York, were made public this week and accuse the diocese of covering up abuse by the Rev. James Vallely. The men say Vallely sexually abused them from 1958 to 1977 when they were ages 8 to 15.
