SIOUX FALLS (SD)
Keloland
There's more evidence the Sioux Falls Catholic Diocese was aware that one of its own priests was sexually abusing children.
In a taped confession, Father Bruce MacArthur admits to abusing about 30 children during his priesthood. He worked in churches across KELOLAND from 1953 to 1973.
Judy DeLonga was one MacArthur's victims. In 2003 she filed a lawsuit against the Sioux Falls Catholic Diocese, claiming the church knew about the abuse and did little to stop it.
The suit was settled out of court this week, but the investigation in her case uncovered several letters between Bishops concerning MacArthur's sexual abuse.
When complaints of his abuse came forward, the church transferred and gave him psychological treatment, but never removed his priesthood.
