A new court ruling could open the door to more court cases regarding alleged sexual abuse by a Catholic priest in our region.
A Judge has ruled the Crookston Diocese must release all records prior
to 1985, regarding possible cases of sexual abuse. Those records had
been sealed.
It all stems from the case against Father J. Vincent Fitzgerald, who died in 2009.
During his career as a priest from 1951 to 1992, Father J. Vincent
Fitzgerald served at numerous parishes across Minnesota and across the
Country, including reservations at Cass Lake and Naytahwaush and Elbow
Lake near Mahnomen.
Jeff Anderson, St. Paul Attorney: “Father
Fitzgerald is known to have abused many youth in many jurisdictions from
some of the sovereign nations… from the Diocese in New Ulm, to the
Diocese in Duluth, to the Diocese in Crookston.”
