BURLINGTON — A judge has set a Sept. 20 trial date for 20 pending priest sex abuse cases against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Vermont if they can't be resolved through mediation.

Vermont Superior Court Judge Helen Toor on Monday also extended the deadline for mediation to May 31.

The cases against defrocked Roman Catholic priest Edward Paquette have been combined to save time.

The Burlington Free Press says a majority of the cases involve former altar boys at Christ the King Church in Burlington who say they were molested by Paquette more than 30 years ago.
