Woman Sues Religious Order Claiming Childhood Abuse

Chicago, Illinois --

Carmen Severino is filing a lawsuit claiming she was abused as a young child in a Chicago-area parish.
A lawsuit is about to be filed against a Roman Catholic religious order.

The suit is being brought on behalf of a woman who claims she was abused as a child by a now-dead priest.

Carmen Severino plans to sue the Claretian order. She claims she was abused by a priest at Our Lady Of Guadalupe Church on the Chicago's southeast side beginning at the age of 11.

The lawsuit claims the order kept a "secret file" in which they kept allegations of abuse, making it impossible to learn of past problems with pedophile priests.
