The Missouri Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a Jackson County judge’s order for the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests to release some records.
The issue stemmed from lawsuits against a Roman Catholic priest by accusers who say they repressed memories of begin abused decades ago. The defense argued that documents held by SNAP could raise doubts about such memories and whether a gag order was violated.
