Two Tarrant County men are suing the Catholic Diocese of Dallas and the Houston-based Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word over sexual abuse they say they...
According to the lawsuit, one of the men was sexually abused as a boy from 1962 to 1967. The lawsuit alleges a nun with the Sisters of Charity, Sister Mary Bridgette, would tell the boy after he had gone to bed “he had done something wrong” and was going to be “punished.”The lawsuit says Sister Mary Bridgette would lead the boy to a room in the basement, give him a cup of alcohol and instruct him to remove his clothing before leaving him in the dark.
The second plaintiff described a similar pattern of abuse, which began when he was 9 and lasted from 1967 to 1971. The lawsuit says the boy was led to the room by the same nun, who gave him alcohol, had him remove his clothing and left him in the dark before McGill sexually assaulted him. He also was sexually assaulted in McGill’s residence across the street from Dunne Memorial Home, the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit says the two boys were injured physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually “for the past 50 years and counting.”The suit alleges the diocese and the Sisters of Charity failed protect the children and covered up the abuse in question and other cases of sexual abuse perpetrated by McGill for years.
