http://www.post-gazette.com/news/crime-courts/2018/09/07/Three-new-lawsuits-filed-against-diocese-Bishop-Zubik-and-Cardinal-Wuerl/stories/201809070128

Three lawsuits claiming sexual abuse by several priests and the late Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua were filed this week against the Diocese of Pittsburgh and current or former officials, accusing them of fraud and conspiracy for covering up the alleged misconduct.

The allegation against Cardinal Bevilacqua dates back to when he was bishop of Pittsburgh in the 1980s, before becoming archbishop of Philadelphia.

The complaints were all filed in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas by Pittsburgh attorney Alan Perer after the release last month of a scathing report by a statewide grand jury convened by Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro.

The three separate lawsuits involve priests from three different parishes.

The children discovered at an “extremist Muslim” compound in New Mexico earlier this month were both trained to use firearms and taught multiple tactical techniques in order to kill teachers, law enforcement and other institutions they found corrupt, state prosecutors revealed on Monday.

The prosecutors provided more details about the accusations during a court hearing in which they asked that Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and four other defendants be held pending trial on child abuse charges.
But the judge in the case ruled against prosecutors’ request.

Judge Sarah Backus said although she was concerned by "troubling facts," prosecutors failed to articulate any specific threats to the community.

She set a $20,000 bond for each defendant and ordered that they wear ankle monitors and have weekly contact with their attorneys.
