Six more unnamed men have filed lawsuits against the Archdiocese of Santa Fe and some of its parishes, claiming that they suffered sexual abuse as teenagers at the hands of the Rev. Michael O’Brien in the 1970s and ’80s.
That brings the total to 10 recent lawsuits filed against the archdiocese for alleged actions committed by O’Brien, who is no longer alive.
The cases in state District Court in Albuquerque are being brought by Albuquerque attorney Brad Hall and the Portland, Ore., attorney Kelly Clark of O’Donnell Clark & Crew LLP.
The men in these latest suits currently range in age from their late 30’s to mid-50’s, according to a news release from the plaintiffs’ lawyers.
