APPLETON – We have breaking news from Outagamie County Court.
A jury has found the Green Bay Catholic Diocese committed fraud when it allowed a priest to continue serving despite rumors of inappropriate behavior with children.
Todd and Troy Merryfield filed the lawsuit.
The jury agreed with their argument that leaders in the diocese placed John Feeney in a Fox Valley church after hearing he was swimming naked and taking showers with young boys.
Feeney was later convicted of molesting the Merryfield brothers.
