A Sacramento attorney and clinical psychologist says he is representing two men from Merced and one from Bakersfield who allege Msgr. Craig Harrison sexually abused them when they were minors.
Joseph George said each man has filed a report with local law enforcement agencies as well as the state attorney general’s office regarding their allegations against the popular Bakersfield priest.
The attorney said he can’t file a lawsuit on behalf of the men because the civil statute of limitations is up. He said he’s representing them pro bono to guide them through the legal process and help ensure law enforcement does a thorough investigation.
Bakersfield police Thursday refused to confirm they have a current investigation involving Harrison. Last week the department said it did not have any open investigations involving the priest.
