MILWAUKEE — A support group for victims of priest abuse is speaking out against plans to ask for the dismissal of several claims against local clergymen.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, held a news conference Tuesday.
The group said more than 550 victims came forward to file claims of sex abuse over the last nine months.
Now, there are reports that the attorneys for the archdiocese plan to ask a judge to dismiss 95 percent of those claims during a hearing Thursday.
