ROCHESTER, Minn. - A Danville woman who claims she was sexually abused by a nun has sued a Sisters of St. Francis order, alleging the order was negligent and failed to investigate or address the allegations.
Christine Bertrand filed her lawsuit Tuesday in Olmsted County District Court. It seeks more than $50,000 in damages.
"The whole topic of nun abuse is just starting to come forward," Bertrand said.
Leaders at the Sisters of St. Francis said there is no evidence of wrongdoing and they will defend against all claims.
