The Catholic Diocese of Hawaii and a number of Catholic schools and churches are being sued after six people claim they were sexually abused at the institutions.

The abuse allegedly happened in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

One victim claims he was abused when he was an altar boy at Kailua Church.

"Pretty certain that these kinds of abuse that took place in my early childhood has affected me tremendously," alleged sex assault victim Greg Owen said.

The victims are seeking monetary damages.

The Diocese of Hawaii had no comment on the lawsuit.
