(CN) — The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles is not off the hook
for two men's claims that a monsignor molested them decades ago, a
California appeals court ruled.
Juan H.J. Doe and Juan H.L. Doe claimed that Monsignor Benjamin Hawkes molested them from the mid-1970s to the early to mid-1980s. During that period, the boys were ages 14 through 21. Hawkes, who died in 1985, "lavished them with meals, clothes, travel and money," according to court records. He also allegedly financed trips and paid for J. Doe's private school tuition.
