The Archdiocese of Baltimore will add a form to its website for people to fill out sexual abuse claims against the church.

In court Monday, the archdiocese confirmed a judge gave a May 31 deadline for victims and survivors to file an abuse claim.

The judge is setting a deadline because the archdiocese is going through bankruptcy proceedings.

Parishes, pastors, school presidents and other officials within the archdiocese will be required to notify people with ads on television, print media and social media.
