The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests says it’s ready to fight back in Jackson County court. Father Michael Tierney, removed from his duties at Christ the King last year, faces several sex abuse lawsuits.

His lawyer Brian Madden has asked the court to hold the group in contempt, saying it has only provided incomplete and redacted information. But SNAP director David Clohessy says the organization has given up plenty and can’t risk revealing the identity of alleged victims in cases that are decades old.
