Just 48 hours after a trove of confidential church documents were released detailing decades of cleric sex abuse, one of the 30 disgraced former priests named in the files is facing a new lawsuit.
The suit, filed this morning in Cook County, accuses Norbert J. Maday of being part of a “tag team” with a Boy Scout troop leader as they molested boys in the early 1970s.
The three men filing the suit, identified as John Doe 1, 2, and 3, also accuse the Archdiocese of Chicago of failing to protect them. There was no immediate comment from the archdiocese.
The men, now in their 50s, say their memories were repressed until news accounts surfaced in the summer of 2013 chronicling the archdiocese’s troubled history responding to pedophile priests.
