Five more plaintiffs sue Roman Catholic Diocese of Peoria
PEORIA, Ill. Five more people have sued the Roman Catholic Diocese of Peoria, accusing three priests of sexually abusing them when they were minors.
One of the lawsuits filed last week in Peoria County Circuit Court also names O-S-F Saint Francis Medical Center for an alleged sexual abuse incident there in 1957.

St. Francis spokesman Chris Lofgren declined to comment on the lawsuit, and diocesan spokeswoman Elizabeth Smarjesse said yesterday the diocese had not been notified of the lawsuits.

The filings bring to 19 the number of active lawsuits against the diocese.

1. Good! It looks like child molestation no longer plays in Peoria.
