Nuns in Louisville face abuse lawsuits over orphanage claims
In Louisville, about two dozen plaintiffs sue the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth alleging molestation and related abuse at an orphanage run by the order from 1952 to 1983. The suit names deceased priest Rev. Herman J. Lammers and about a dozen nuns, as victims aged 72 to 88 describe beatings and confinement. The order denies wrongdoing and cites a 2003 abuse policy.
