	Alleged Abuse Victims Speak at Diocese Bankruptcy Hearing WDEL August 13 2010 http://www.wdel.com/story.php?id=779685576563 [with audio] Dramatic and graphic testimony revealed as alleged victims of priest sex abuse detail their horrific encounters in the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington's bankruptcy case. WDEL's Amy Cherry was inside the courtroom.Audio Here Felix Flanigan says every decision he's ever made since that day has been difficult. That day was a Sunday night in the fall of 1961 when Flanigan says Father Francis DeLuca led him up to his room with a bowl of ice cream, and then sexually abused him. Flanigan tells the court he's been “screwed up” ever since, and when the Diocese filed for bankruptcy, delaying his trial for a year, it was like having the rug pulled out from under him. His Attorney Steve Neuberger says now, it's time, for justice. Evidence revealed in court shows a Diocesan cover-up, and Neuberger says once trial is permitted to proceed, we'll see documents that were never meant to see the light of day.
