A judge ordered the
Diocese of Duluth on Monday to produce more priest files as it prepared
to defend itself in a civil trial involving alleged clergy sex abuse.
The
diocese failed to abide by a January court order to turn over all
documents about alleged abuse it possessed before 1978, Ramsey County
District Court Judge John Guthmann said Monday. “I do not think this was in bad faith,” the judge said, “but it needs to be rectified.”
