	Another Lawsuit Filed against Catholic Diocese By Peter MacArthur WDEL June 18, 2009 http://www.wdel.com/story.php?id=369134176143 The nephew of former New York Cardinal John O'Connor is in Delaware, claiming he was abused by a priest and ready to sue under Delaware law. Rich Green says he was molested by Father John McDevitt while a student at a Pennsylvania Catholic high school. Delaware law allows Green to sue here because he claims Delaware church leaders knew McDevitt was a child molester from his time working at Salesianum High School in Wilmington. That same law leaves open the window for alleged victims to sue no matter when they were abused. Green's suit names McDevitt, who's now dead, the Pennsylvania school where Green says he was abused, and the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington. Since the law came to be in 2007, more than a dozen former Sallies students have filed suit against priests who taught at the school.
