A ruling from a Ramsey County District Court judge is ordering the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis allow lawyers for an alleged clergy abuse victim to depose Archbishop John Nienstedt and former Vicar General Kevin McDonough within the next 30 days.
The Star Tribune reports Judge John Van de North also ordered the archdiocese create a list of all priests accused of sexually abusing minors since 2004, in a week.
The newspaper says Van de North called the case “very important” when referring to the demands on the archdiocese to provide information.
The case is centered around John Doe 1, who claimed he was abused by former priest Tom Adamson between 1976 and 1977.
