(CBS 5 News) - The cofounders of a Roman Catholic church ministry in the Valley are accused of covering up a molestation.
Dale Fushek and Phil Baniewicz were creators of the Life-Teen Program. It's the largest catholic youth organization in the nation.
Now a lawsuit claims Fushek watched as a teenage parishioner was sodomized by another priest in 1985. It also claims the program at St. Timothy's church in Mesa fosters inappropriate sexual behavior.
A spokeswoman for Life Teen denies the claims.
