DENVER Two men who attended a Catholic school in Colorado have sued the Diocese of Pueblo, claiming a teacher drugged and sexually assaulted them some 40 years ago.

The plaintiffs say Brother William Mueller asked them for help in conducting sleep experiments, then knocked them out with ether -- and abused them while they slept.

Mueller is not named as a defendant in the suit. He now lives in San Antonio -- and refused to comment.

The plaintiffs are each seeking more than ten (m) million dollars from the Diocese of Pueblo, and the Society of Mary (Marianists) Religious Order.
