MILWAUKEE- A bankruptcy judge refused to unseal church documents related to the Milwaukee Archdiocese sex abuse scandal.
Not only did federal judge Susan Kelley disagree, she called Wednesday’s hearing a distraction, by people with an agenda.
At a court hearing earlier this month, Peter Isely, a spokesman for the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) argued documents in the archdiocese bankruptcy hearing listed at least 100 never before named sex offenders. He claimed those names are a public safety and child safety concern.
Judge Kelley reviewed every single name listed in the claims spanning more than 50 years — and could find no public safety concern.
