Civil trial over sex abuse allegations at Oakland diocese begins today

Hayward, California --

A civil trial over accusations of sexual abuse involving the Oakland Diocese more than two decades ago is scheduled to begin today.
Opening statements are set for this morning in the case of two brothers who say they were repeatedly molested by a priest at an Antioch church between 1979 and 1981.

The case will be closely watched as hundreds of other civil suits involving allegations of abuse by Roman Catholic priests get closer to trial.

Today's trial begins after a jury awarded 437-thousand dollars to a former altar boy who was molested by a priest in the 1970s at a San Jose church.
