Ex-priest accused of abusing students

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - August 5, 2008 The lawsuit was filed Monday. It alleges the abuse occurred between 1983 and 1987, when the Rev. Dennis Killion was a teacher at the school.

The suit was filed by former Salesianum students Thomas Ademski, Anthony Kramedas, Christopher Mauro and a man who is suing anonymously.

Killion belongs to the religious order the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales, based in Wilmington and Philadelphia. Killion worked recently at a Catholic high school in Florida. He was to be assigned to a parish in Pennsylvania, before the assignment was withdrawn Monday.

An Oblate spokesman says Killion was placed on administrative leave and the allegations are being taken seriously.
