Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com) — Attorneys have filed a sexual abuse lawsuit against the Diocese of Duluth in connection with accusations of sexual abuse.
Sexual abuse attorney Mike Finnegan of Jeff Anderson & Associates announced the lawsuit on behalf of a man in his 50’s who says he was sexually abused by a priest.
The lawsuit names the Diocese of Duluth as the defendant and alleges the Diocese was negligent in their supervision even though reports of inappropriate behavior with minor boys were received.
Attorneys have also requested the release of 17 names of accused and admitted child molesters from the Diocese of Duluth.
“Today’s lawsuit seeks to have the Diocese of Duluth release the names of 17 accused child molesters that it has kept secret. The sooner the Diocese takes action and releases this list, the better protected our children and communities will be,” says Finnegan.
