LA ARCHDIOCESE RELEASES PRIEST ABUSE RECORDS

According to records released yesterday, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles allowed at least eight priests to remain in contact with children even after receiving complaints that the clerics had a sexual interest in minors. The documents reveal a pattern of shuffling priests accused of sexual abuse to other assignments and may offer the most unfiltered look yet at the way the archdiocese responded to child-molestation allegations involving its priests over the last half-century. Seven accused priests remain in active ministry today, according to the archdiocese, with at least one abuse allegation against each of them. Larry and his guests discuss the latest developments in the Los Angeles priest abuse case. Larry Mantle talks with Raymond Boucher, lead negotiator for the plaintiffs, Mike Hennigen, attorney for the Los Angeles Archdiocese and Donald Steier, attorney for the accused priests.
