In court Thursday, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Kressel gave creditors, including survivors of childhood sex abuse, until May 25 to file claims in the bankruptcy case.

The decision requires all information about survivors of sexual abuse to be kept confidential.

The Diocese of Duluth filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection on December 7.

The decision to file bankruptcy came after a Ramsey County jury awarded $8.4 million to a man who says he was molested as a boy by a priest form the Duluth Diocese.
