ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) –
Attorneys for the victims of alleged sexual abuse by Minnesota priests are asking a judge to order the release of church emails and text messages related to abuse allegations.
St. Paul attorney Jeff Anderson said they need to verify which individuals, at the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and the Diocese of Winona, knew about allegations of abuse and when they knew it.
The electronic records are being sought in a lawsuit that alleges church officials created “private and public nuisances by failing to disclose information about certain priests accused of sexually abusing minors.”
