ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) -

Archbishop John Nienstedt will testify Wednesday about his knowledge to clergy sexual abuse.

Nienstedt's deposition is a response to a lawsuit filed by an alleged victim who claims he was sexually abused by former priest Tom Adamson between 1976 and 1977 when he was assigned to a church in St. Paul Park.

The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and the Diocese of Winona are also named in the lawsuit.

The church is in the process of handing over thousands of pages of priest abuse documents to the courts.

Former Vicar General Kevin McDonough will be deposed later this month.
