	Sex Abuse Victim Testimony Blows Hole in St. E's Defense By Amy Cherry WDEL November 1, 2010 http://www.wdel.com/story.php?id=474882776644 [with audio] Dramatic, never-before-heard testimony as the John Vai vs. St. Elizabeth trial presses forward. WDEL's Amy Cherry was inside the courtroom.Audio Here Father DeLuca drove a flashy blue Camaro, a car John Doe #18 dreamed of driving, and he fulfilled that dream many times. His worst nightmares also happened in that car. That's where Doe was molested by DeLuca repeatedly. But what Doe said next blew a hole in the defense. He says one day, Monsignor Donohoe came out screaming at Deluca, "You promised you would never do this again," he screamed while flailing his arms wildly. Donohoe then told Doe that DeLuca was in trouble, and that he was to blame for tempting DeLuca. The now Vicar General Monsignor Cini told Doe, "You know better." In the cross examination, attorneys for St. Elizabeth's Parish re-established DeLuca's secrecy and that none of the Doe's abuse ever happened on church property. Under oath, Cini has consistently denied any knowledge of DeLuca and the abuse. He's expected to the take the stand in the trial next week.
