Attorney Jeff Anderson and officials from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis are slated to unveil a “historic child protection action plan” at a news conference Monday.
“This will be the first time in 30 years Anderson has stood with archdiocese officials to work in cooperation for child protection,” said a news release from Anderson’s office announcing the event scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Landmark Center in St. Paul.
Anderson is a St. Paul attorney who has spent a career representing victims of clergy sex abuse both in Minnesota and nationally. He currently represents an alleged victim of former priest Tom Adamson, in a historic lawsuit that has thrown open the church’s files on abusing priests. A trial is set for November.
The revelations have tarnished the reputation of the church and Archbishop John Nienstedt, who has been under fire for not doing enough to prevent priests — who had been credibly accused of child abuse — from molesting more victims.
