CHICAGO (WITI) — Thousands of pages of records were released on Tuesday, January 21st — detailing years of sexual abuse by priests in the Archdiocese of Chicago — and four of the priests named in the documents have Wisconsin ties.
Six thousand pages of documents were released on Tuesday naming 30 priests — four with Wisconsin ties.
Records show two of those priests sexually abused minors while staying in Wisconsin.
Another often brought boys to his Wisconsin cottage, and the fourth lived in Twin Lakes as recently as 2005.
“Time and time again, each of the Cardinals and officials made conscious choices to keep that knowledge a secret within the circle of the Cardinal or the officials or the bishops and only there,” Lawyer for the victims, Jeffrey Anderson said during a press conference in Chicago on Tuesday.
