Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com) — The Diocese of Duluth is requesting a public nuisance complaint in a sexual abuse case involving Father John Nicholson be dropped.

Attorney Mike Finnegan represents two sexual abuse survivors who have filled law suits against the Diocese.

The suits ask the Diocese to release the names of 17 priests they say are credibly accused of sexual assault.

On December 31, the diocese released the names of the 17 priests with credible allegations of sexual abuse.
