	5 More Priest Sex Suits Filed against Vt Diocese NECN February 16, 2011 http://www.necn.com/02/16/11/5-more-priest-sex-suits-filed-against-Vt/landing_nation.html?&blockID=3&apID=de83633ad6024b03a8e94f6adbc75956 BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Vermont's Roman Catholic Diocese, which agreed last year to pay $17.6 million to settle more than two dozen priest sex abuse suits, is now facing five new ones. Four of the suits involve claims against now-defrocked priest Edward Paquette and one names former Rev. Alfred Willis. They were filed last year but not posted on the public docket of Chittenden Superior Court until Monday, after inquiries by the Burlington Free Press. The suits accuse the Diocese of keeping the two in positions where they could harm children despite knowing both had histories of molesting boys. The church's lawyer, Thomas McCormick, declined comment on the suits.
