MILWAUKEE — An attorney for clergy sexual abuse victims suing the Archdiocese of Milwaukee says a judge’s decision barring a victim who received money in mediation from seeking additional compensation will force his team to re-examine its cases.
U.S. District Judge Rudolph T. Randa ruled Tuesday that a man who received $80,000 from the archdiocese through its mediation program couldn’t pursue a claim in bankruptcy court.
The man claimed archdiocese officials committed fraud by lying to him in mediation. Randa’s decision also bars evidence from mediation being used in the bankruptcy case.
