	Man Who Says He Was Abused Seeking $2.5 Million in Damages Associated Press, carried in WMDT July 13, 2007 http://www.wmdt.com/wires/displaystory.asp?id=63615810 Wilmington, Del. (AP) - Robert Quill testified before the General Assembly in support of a new law that allows victims of child sexual abuse to seek damages for abuse that occurred years ago. Today, Quill became the first person to file a lawsuit under the new law. He claims that now-retired Catholic priest Francis DeLuca molested him hundreds of times. Quill declined to speak at a news conference announcing the lawsuit. His lawyer, Thomas Neuberger, says that decision was based on the advice of doctors. Quill is a former federal appeals court attorney. He retired in 2002 after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. He's seeking at least two-and-a-half (m) million dollars in damages. That's the amount in salary and pension benefits he says he lost when he had to retire early. The Diocese of Wilmington had no comment on the lawsuit.
