Order Will Help Protect Children, Expose Diocese’s Protection of Abusive
Priests, and Scrutinize Decisions Regarding Priest Information (St. Cloud, MN) – Stearns County District Court Judge Kris Davick-Halfen
has ruled that a clergy sexual abuse survivor’s public nuisance claim
against the Diocese of St. Cloud can proceed. Judge Davick-Halfen’s June
22, 2015, order will help hold the Diocese of St. Cloud accountable for
protecting pedophile priests in the past and will help keep children
safe in the future.
In 2014 the Diocese of St. Cloud released a list of 33 priests who worked in the Diocese who had been credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors. The Diocese has not released files or documents pertaining to those priests or their patterns of grooming and abuse. Such information is necessary to educate the public about the threat and keep the public safe.
