MILWAUKEE (AP) — A lawyer representing people who say they were sexually abused by priests in the Milwaukee Archdiocese says he’s glad the archdiocese has agreed to release thousands of sealed documents.

Attorney Jeff Anderson said Wednesday he’s grateful to the hundreds of abuse survivors who stayed strong in their fight to have the documents released.

The archdiocese says it’ll post about 3,000 pages of documents online by July 1.

Anderson says the victims have been seeking disclosure, exposure and closure. He says Wednesday’s announcement fulfills the first two, and the focus will soon shift toward the third.
