Pueblo, Colo. (AP) - A former Pueblo Marianist brother is listed among the 10 child abusers with the most victims, according to a group that tracks sexual abuse by Roman Catholic clergy.

The Pueblo Chieftain reported today that at least 40 complaints have been filed against William Mueller in Colorado, Texas and Missouri.

David Clohessy, national director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said Mueller's actions are almost unparalled in the history of abuse by clery.

The Society of Mary religious order has been contacted by at least a dozen more alleged victims whose cases are still being studied. They allege that while pretending to be pursuing a master's degree in psychology he asked them to submit to experiments involving, ether, heavy breathing, blindfolding and touching, the Chieftain reported.

The Marianists have said Mueller spent time at a treatment center and left the order in 1986. Details of his treatment were not available.

Mueller, who taught music at the now-closed Roncalli High School ini Pueblo, has been unavailable for comment.
