BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut prosecutor says he’ll review documents unsealed this week detailing sexual abuse allegations against priests, but noted in the past when authorities have looked into such complaints they were too old to prosecute. Advocates representing victims urged prosecutors Thursday to review the documents from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport to see if any church officials should be prosecuted. Bridgeport State’s Attorney John Smriga (SMREE’-gah) said his office would look at the newly released documents to see if there are any allegations not previously reviewed. He said prosecutors have reviewed such allegations several times and concluded that any possible criminal charges were precluded by a statute of limitations.
