Pope, Vatican Officials Targeted in New Suit by U.S. Sex Abuse Victims The National Law Journal
A federal suit filed on Thursday in Milwaukee alleges that Pope Benedict XVI and senior Vatican officials covered up allegations that a Wisconsin priest molested at least 200 children at a suburban Milwaukee school for the deaf.

He also seeks unspecified monetary damages and a jury trial.
