MILWAUKEE — A former priest accused of sexual abuse won’t be getting any money from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee in its bankruptcy case.
Federal bankruptcy Judge Susan Kelley has tossed out a claim from Marvin Knighton, who says he was wrongly defrocked and money he contributed to his retirement account should be returned to him.
Knighton was charged with child sexual abuse in 2002 but acquitted by a jury the next year. The church still removed him from the priesthood, however, saying its investigation found two allegations against him had merit.
