The news that Rochester Catholic
Schools was named as a party in several lawsuits related to sexual abuse
at the hands of priests should come as no surprise, said Patrick Wall.
He
was responding to the announcement Sunday from local officials that RCS
is a defendant in at least 16 civil suits. The lawsuits are the result
of the Child Victims Act of 2013, which lifted the statute of
limitations for child sexual abuse cases, providing a three-year window
for survivors to file a civil claim.
