Alleged victims of clergy sexual abuse have asked a federal judge to extend the time to serve legal documents to four defendants in their lawsuits, including the Capuchin Franciscans and the Congregation of Holy Cross, both in Italy.

Six of the plaintiffs said they also need time to find someone to translate the documents from English to Italian.

Former Catholic school teacher Ray Caluag, who is in the Philippines, and former priest Joe R. San Agustin, also known as Andrew San Agustin, who is believed to be on Guam, also have not been served copies of the lawsuits, according to the plaintiffs.
