Mike Finnegan describes the Rev. J. Vincent Fitzgerald as "one
of the worst predators" he's seen in his career as an attorney and
advocate for victims of child sexual abuse.
Fitzgerald had already been accused of
sexual misconduct when he arrived in Northeastern Minnesota in the early
1960s, according to documents publicly released Wednesday. Allegations
continued over the next 20-plus years, much of which time he spent
working at parishes throughout the Diocese of Duluth. Fitzgerald died in
2009.http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/4030546-priest-duluth-diocese-trial-faced-decades-sexual-misconduct-allegations
