Group Claims Diocese Has Not Shared All Documents
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- A number of Catholics say the whole story about the Bridgeport Diocese sex abuse scandal has yet to be told. This, in spite of the release of thousands of pages of court files earlier this week.
At the news conference on Thursday, advocated held up pictures of Bridgeport Diocese priests either accused of or found to have molested young children, abuse victims and advocates said more needs to be done to look into the possibility that there are other victims.
The group claimed the Bridgeport Diocese has not shared all of the documents that a judge ordered it to release in connection with a 2001 settlement involving six abusive priests.
The diocese said it had complied with the judge's order.
The matter could end up back in court soon.
Meanwhile, church sex abuse victims and advocates asked the state's attorney's office to examine the thousands of pages of documents the diocese released this week.
The state's attorney said it will go over the documents.
Advocates for the abuse victims want a hot line set up for people to call, believing that there are still more victims.
