Anti-mob law invoked in sex cases
March 25, 2002
WASHINGTON: Lawyers are invoking a statute previously used to
round up
crime bosses in a new legal nightmare for the Catholic church over
child
abuse by priests.
Claiming the church hierarchy is involved in a conspiracy of silence
to
protect priests who abuse children, the suit filed in Hannibal,
Missouri,
comes under the Racketeering Influence and Corrupt Organisations
Act and
targets former Florida bishop Anthony O'Connell, who resigned this
month
after admitting to molesting a seminary student in the 1970s.
The law includes provisions for civil lawsuits when someone is
harmed by a
"pattern" of illegal activity.
