The Diocese of Winona had released the names of two more priests who have been accused of sexually abusing minors.

The Rev. Harold Mountain and the Rev. Thomas Duane were named in a release by lawyer Jeff Anderson on Friday. Both names hadn’t been released before today.

A total of 17 clerics who worked in the Diocese of Winona have now been accused of sexual abuse.

The disclosure is part of an October 2014 settlement agreement that includes a child protection plan and the public release of the names of clerics who have substantiated claims of sexual abuse against them.
