Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.COM) — There are new developments regarding the Diocese of Duluth and several of its former priests accused of molesting children.
The never before seen letters and documents detail the alleged sexual abuse by four former priests.
.
The four deceased priests were all part of the Diocese of Duluth at one time.
The documents have disturbing details from the past.
“When I came out about the priest in Proctor that molested me, I had several classmates call me up and say I thought I was the only one,” Vern Wagner said.
Wagner stood by the law firm on Monday that is responsible for getting the Diocese of Duluth to release documents that outline years of alleged sexual abuse from four of their priests.
Some of the documents came out after the trial of Reverend Gregory Manning.
“This letter is a warning from the head of the treatment facility in New Mexico of Father Fitzgerald to the Diocese of Duluth in 1958, saying that these people are dangerous,” Michael Finnegan said.
