CHICAGO (AP) — Attorneys for victims alleging sex abuse by priests say documents released by the Archdiocese of Chicago are a step forward but fall short of what attorneys wanted.

Jeff Anderson is an attorney representing victims. At a news conference Tuesday, he said documents detailing abuse allegations show church officials hid abuse. Anderson says the documents reflect “misplaced priorities” on the part of the nation’s third-largest archdiocese.

Attorneys posted documents online Tuesday, about a week after receiving them from the archdiocese as part of legal settlements. The documents are for 30 of 65 priests for whom the archdiocese says it has credible allegations.
