Cardinal Timothy Dolan questioned by lawyers about sex abuse in Milwaukee archdiocese
NEW YORK —New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan has been deposed in connection to accusations of sexual abuse in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
New York archdiocese spokesman Joseph Zwilling said Dolan’s deposition started Wednesday afternoon in New York City. It is unclear how long it is expected to last.
“Today, Cardinal Dolan had the long-awaited opportunity to talk about his decision nine years ago in Milwaukee to publicize the names of priests who had abused children and how he responded to the tragedy of past clergy sexual abuse of minors, during the time he was privileged to serve as archbishop of Milwaukee,” Zwillling said in a statement obtained by WISN 12 News.
Dolan led the Archdiocese of Milwaukee before he was appointed to the New York position in 2009.
