The names of 14 more priests who have been credibly accused of child sexual abuse are expected to be made public Tuesday.

The files were obtained as part of the Doe 1 investigation against the Diocese of Winona and the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.

Attorney Jeff Anderson will release the names during a news conference, which is scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday in Winona. He says the lawsuit was made possible by the Child Victims Act, which allows sexual abuse victims to file claims against their alleged abusers and the institutions that protected them.

The files, timelines and key documents will be available online at www.andersonadvocates.com.
