(Waterbury-AP, Dec. 8, 2005 5:30 PM) _ Two girls have sued a former church organist and a church in Derby over sexual abuse charges.
The girls, who were not identified in legal papers filed in Waterbury Superior Court, said Robert Nelson showed pornographic videos and photos and engaged in sex with the girls for about four years beginning in 2000.
Lawyers for the girls say the 51-year-old Nelson pleaded guilty in October to sexual assault.
Immanuel St. James Episcopal Church also was sued. The lawsuit accuses the church of negligent hiring.
