ST. PETERSBURG -- A teenager is suing a worldwide boys organization whose youth

leader in St. Petersburg was sentenced to life in prison for molesting 14 teenagers

he supervised. The lawsuit claims the group, DeMolay, should have known John Shirley had a history

of inappropriate behavior including providing drugs and pornographic movies to members

and should not have been left alone with children.
