	Fairbanks Diocese Not Insured against Sexual Abuse Claims, Judge Rules KTUU October 3, 2009 http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=11253438 ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The Fairbanks Catholic Diocese does not have insurance to cover sexual abuse cases, a federal judge ruled in bankruptcy court. Judge Donald MacDonald ruled that Continental Insurance Company is not liable for the alleged sexual abuse that occurred more than three decades ago. MacDonald says that "some sort of policy" was issued to the diocese by the insurance company and that the diocese was unable to provide evidence of liability coverage during the years in question. Almost 300 complaints of sexual abuse of a minor have been filed in the Fairbanks diocese in the last six years.
