A DISABLED woman is suing the former Superior of a Catholic religious order, alleging that he sexually abused her over 14 years and that others in the church failed­ to act on their knowledge of what took place.

Documents tendered to the NSW Supreme Court show former school teacher Jennifer Herrick, 61, alleges Father Thomas Knowles repeatedly assaulted her without consent, including by forcing her to have sex in a park grandstand and within sight of other people.
