Molestation lawsuit: An article in the Jan. 24 California section about a lawsuit filed by three siblings who alleged they were molested by a priest with the Salesian Society incorrectly said the suit would be the first since the Roman Catholic clergy abuse scandal erupted six years ago in which a jury would decide the church’s culpability. The lawsuit names the Salesian order, a Catholic society, as a defendant, not the church. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles was earlier dismissed as a defendant after settling claims against it.
