Three more men and a woman say they were sexually abused as children by Catholic priests in Western Alaska, joining a lawsuit filed in December in Bethel that accuses the Revs. Francis X. Nawn and Segundo Llorente of abuse.
Both men spent years as priests in rural Alaska and are deceased. Llorente also served a term in the Alaska Legislature.
The plaintiffs aren't named. The new ones, added Tuesday, are called only Jack Doe 7, 8 and 9, and Jackie Doe 1.
One man remembered attending Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Scammon Bay in 1971 and 1972 when he was age 5 to 7. Nawn sexually abused him when he was a first-grader and then gave him hard candy as a treat, the suit filed by Anchorage attorney Ken Roosa said.
