PROVIDENCE —
A Rhode Island man said Monday he was abused decades ago at a boarding school operated by a religious order based in Burrillville.
The Brothers of the Sacred Heart has faced similar allegations in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Holding photos of child sex abuse victims from across the country, a small group from BishopAccountability.org gathered outside the office of Rhode Island’s attorney general, demanding an investigation.
“If this attorney general can’t take action, then I believe children of Rhode Island will continue to be at risk by this order,” said Anne Barrett Doyle of BishopAccountability.org.
The sex abuse survivors group said the small religious order has been hit by at least 10 sex abuse lawsuits in recent years.
