The Diocese of Duluth is slated to go before a jury Monday to face child sexual abuse claims in a potential landmark case.
Barring a late settlement or other legal
action, the lawsuit would become the first to go to trial under the
Minnesota Child Victims Act, a 2013 law that opened a window for victims
of decades-old abuse to file suit in cases that otherwise would be
barred by statutes of limitation.
