In 1994, under the pseudonyms of Jane Doe and Jane Roe, two women filed a
civil lawsuit against a Catholic priest named Father Joseph Maskell.
He'd been the chaplain of Baltimore's Archbishop Keough, an all-girls
high school the women had attended in the late '60s. They alleged that
their years there had been riddled with repeated sexual abuse at his
hands, and that a beloved nun, Sister Cathy Cesnik, had been murdered to
cover up his alleged crimes (Maskell denied the sexual assault accusations
until his death in 2001. He was never charged in connection with
Cesnik's case). His sexual abuse accusers identified themselves a decade
after their lawsuit was dismissed (the statute of limitations had
expired), and now, they've chronicled the saga once again for The Keepers, a gripping but gut-churning new docuseries from Netflix. One of these women, Teresa Lancaster, tells Bustle that The Keepers is a blaring plea for justice.
