The clock struck midnight, and thanks to a new law a slew of lawsuits against the Catholic Church have popped up in New Jersey.
That includes a case targeting the Allentown Diocese. A woman says she was repeatedly abused by a priest for more than a decade.
According to the lawsuit, a 13 year old girl started being sexually abused by later-defrocked priest Joseph Rock in 1974. It allegedly continued for 11 years.
Rock allegedly took photos and videos and threatened to share them if she ever told anyone.
