Five years after agreeing to do so, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is poised to release personnel files on 25 former priests accused of sex abuse and child molestation, after the state Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected the former priests’ appeal to keep the documents confidential.
The release of the documents was part of the Archdiocese’s record $660 million settlement in 2007 to 508 people who said they were victims.
Former priests sued to block the release of the documents, but lost. The state Supreme Court denied their appeal Wednesday.
Archdiocese spokesman Tod Tamberg did not say when the documents would be released, only that it would happen “at some point in the not-too-distant future.”
