MILWAUKEE --- The Milwaukee Archdiocese has promised to release the personnel files that will divulge information about sexual abuse in the church today.

The Archdiocese made the announcement the files will become public last week. They say the documents are hundreds of pages long and they include graphic details about the abuse.

The documents are being released as part of a deal reached in court after sex abuse victims sued the church for fraud.

The files will include personnel files of 42 priests with verified claims of abuse against them along with depositions from top church officials. One of those officials is New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the former head of the Milwaukee Archdiocese.

The files are expected to be posted on the Archdiocese website around 1:00 p.m. today.
