Two women who say they were sexually abused by a now-deceased St. Cloud Diocese priest sued the diocese and two parishes where they say the abuse happened on Tuesday. The women, who were not named, accuse Donald Rieder of sexually abusing them at parishes in Randall and Kimball in the 1960s when the girls were between the ages of 11 and 15. The lawsuits allege negligence and accuse the diocese of common law nuisance, a legal claim that has led to the release of dozens of priest personnel files in other religious orders. The diocese had not had an opportunity to review the complaints and cannot comment on the specifics. Back in January, Bishop Donald Kettler put Rieder on the list of priests to the public who had been involved with sexual abuse of minors from the past.
