LOS ANGELES A Los Angeles judge hasordered the Roman Catholic Church to release thousands of pages ofinsurance records and confidential files related to a notorious case ofpriest abuse.
Superior Court Judge Peter Lichtman today ordered theArchdiocese of Milwaukee to make public three-thousand pages ofinsurance records and hundreds of pages from the secret disciplinaryfiles of former priest Siegfried Widera.Lichtman wrote thatWidera's files prove that "priests with known sexual proclivities havebeen handed off from location to another without regard to thepotential harm to the children of the Church."The leadplaintiffs' attorney for more than 700 clergy abuse lawsuits pending inSouthern California says the order will set a precedent for gainingaccess to the files of other priests that could show when the churchfirst knew about allegations of abuse and its response.In the59-page ruling, Lichtman systematically struck down the archdiocese'sarguments for keeping the documents private, including claims that theyare protected by third-party privacy rights, the First Amendment andthe confidential business rights of the archdiocese.If you wish to keep this article alive in the Internet Archive simply click the link below.
