Federal judge denies Wisconsin AG's request to access sealed sex abuse records from Milwaukee Archdiocese's bankruptcy.
A federal judge has denied Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul's request to access sealed records from the Milwaukee Archdiocese's 2015 bankruptcy, which aimed to address clergy sex abuse claims. Judge G. Michael Halfenger ruled that the Attorney General's office did not present a valid case for revisiting the bankruptcy decision and lacked a proper plan to notify abuse survivors about the request. The Archdiocese had previously settled with many claimants, but hundreds of claims remain sealed.
