JEFFERSON CITY, MO (KTVI) – The Missouri Supreme Court Wednesday issued its ruling on whether the ST. Louis Archdiocese should hand over the names of priest accused of sexual abuse. The full panel of justices ruled that the Archdiocese must turn over the names of the priest, ending the battle over releasing the names first ordered by St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Robert Dierker.
The Post-Dispatch, reports that the order is part of a 2011 suit filed on behalf of a then 19-year-old woman, who accused a priest of sexual abuse from 1997-2001.
