MILWAUKEE -- A Milwaukee-area clergy sex abuse victims group is urging the state attorney general to investigate who it calls unidentified sex offenders.

The 100 unidentified individuals came to light during the Milwaukee archdiocese's bankruptcy filing in federal court. Seventy-five of them are priests.

"This is a public safety concern because the community needs to know where these individuals are, where they're living, what they're doing. Are they working with families and children" So this is a very important matter," Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests Wisconsin Director John Pilmaier said.

A federal judge last month ruled the abuse claims lawsuits against priests and other church leaders can go to trial.
