MILWAUKEE — Victims who say they have been abused by members of the Catholic Church said they won in federal court Thursday.
A federal bankruptcy judge has ruled more than 500 cases of fraud will be allowed to go to trial.
These new cases expose 100 additional alleged abusers, 70 of them priests, who have never been named before.
The claims come from representatives of abuse survivors who are trying to sue the Milwaukee archdiocese in federal bankruptcy court.
