Job taken by former BCA chief Timothy O’Malley created at suggestion of church abuse task force.
The former superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has been named to fill a top St. Paul-Minneapolis Archdiocese position addressing clergy sex abuse.
Timothy O’Malley, currently an administrative law judge, will fill a new leadership position created by the archdiocese in response to the wave of clergy abuse allegations over the past year.
“We are honored that Judge O’Malley has offered to share his experience and insights with the church to help protect the young and vulnerable and hold accountable those who have caused harm,” said Archbishop John Nienstedt in a news release.
“He brings with him a high level of intellect, an impressive background of experience and leadership with local law enforcement, the FBI, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the judicial system, and he has a compassionate heart for victims/survivors.”
