	Court Dismisses Lawsuit against Omaha Archdiocese Associated Press, carried on NTV June 9, 2008 http://www.nebraska.tv/Global/story.asp?S=8452547&nav=menu605_2 OMAHA, Neb. - A court has dismissed a lawsuit against the Omaha Archdiocese by a man who said the archdiocese let him be abused by a priest as a boy. The lawsuit, brought by 41-year-old Cary Claar of Springfield, Ore., alleged a Roman Catholic priest sexually abused Claar for several years starting around 1978, when Claar was 12 or 13 years old. U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Bataillon dismissed the lawsuit Monday, saying among other things that Claar failed to bring his claims within the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations for sexual assault is seven years or within seven years of the victim's 21st birthday, whichever is later.
