Claims filed against St. Cloud Diocese

St. Cloud, MN (Learfield) - The Diocese of St. Cloud is facing 75 lawsuits claiming sexual abuse against children by former monks and priests.

The complaints were submitted Monday, just days before Wednesday's deadline to file under the Child Victim's Act. Attorney Michael Bryant says the suits cover sexually abusive conduct that took place back 30 years or more.

St. Cloud Bishop Donald Kettler released a statement that the diocese is reviewing the claims and he wants to resolve them "in a fair and just manner."
