DEAF ACCUSE NUNS OF SEX ABUSE

Nine former students of the Boston School for the Deaf filed a lawsuit yesterday alleging they were raped and beaten by nuns at the now-defunct Catholic school.  At least 15 nuns were named in the lawsuit, along with a priest and male athletic instructor at the school.  The alleged victims, three women and sex men, say they were between the ages of 7 and 16 when they were sexually and physically abused between 1944 and 1977.
