MPR News: Lawyers for a victim of clergy sexual abuse have asked Brown County Court Judge Robert Docherty to order the Diocese of New Ulm to release a list of priests who have been credibly accused of sexual abuse.
When institutions ask courts to dismiss claims related to abuse or public nuisance, the legal process often focuses on issues such as responsibility, knowledge, and whether the institution took appropriate action to protect the public. Court decisions in these cases can have significant impacts on future litigation and institutional accountability.
