What did he know and when did he know it?
That’s what attorneys for the victims of priest sex abuse were trying to find out from former Bishop of the Rochester Diocese, Matthew Clark during a recent deposition.
The transcript of that deposition was just filed.
News10NBC Investigative Reporter Jennifer Lewke has been reading through it.
The transcript is 145 pages long and the deposition lasted three hours. Bishop Clark was in frail health while providing it.
His doctor was there with him to monitor his condition as he answered questions as part of the diocese’s bankruptcy filing.
Bishop Clark was asked about dozens of priests by name and whether he was aware of sexual misconduct allegations against them.
