SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) -- Two dozen former residents of an
American Indian orphanage run by the Roman Catholic Church are
suing the Sioux Falls diocese, alleging sexual and physical abuse
by priests and nuns decades ago.
Some of the victims, who are identified in the 58-page lawsuit filed last week only by their initials, were as young as 4 years old during the alleged assaults at the former Tekakwitha Orphanage in Sisseton, about 150 miles north of Sioux Falls, between the 1940s and 1970s.
