The US Catholic church is facing new pedophilia charges, after a lawsuit filed against a priest by seven adults in California alleged child sexual abuse spanning three decades.
The suit filed Wednesday in Oakland, California accused Father Stephen Kiesle of acts of sexual abuse between 1972 and 2001, and alleged that Catholic Church officials knew of the crimes but did not stop them.
"The Catholic bishops in the United States of America and the Holy See have long facilitated the sexual molestation of children by engaging in the harboring and protection of known child molesting priests," read a copy of the lawsuit obtained by AFP.
