Sexual abuse 'always known to be evil,' lawyer tells Mount Cashel lawsuit judge

Closing arguments began Wednesday in a civil lawsuit led by former Mount Cashel residents who claim church officials ignored reports of horrific abuse at the orphanage in Newfoundland.
Lawyers for about 60 claimants are in provincial Supreme Court, and say the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of St. John's is liable for incidents dating back to the 1940s. Lawyer Geoff Budden said church officials knew or ought to have known what was happening.
