Lawyer Posts Addresses of Alleged Pedophile Priests on Website
A Minnesota lawyer for victims of pedophile priests has posted addresses and some phone numbers of alleged Chicago abusers on his website.
Jeffrey Anderson of St. Paul told the Chicago Sun-Times that he posted information about nine men yesterday to protect the public. Anderson represented victims in a $12.7 million settlement with the Chicago archdiocese that cited the men.
Some of the alleged abusers are in jail but at least one was never criminally charged.
“I can’t put them behind bars, but I can alert people that they live in their communities,” Anderson told the Sun-Times. “I have no problem [with] people calling them and asking them if they’re still abusing kids.”
In the mid-1980s, Anderson was one of the first lawyers to bring suits claiming sexual abuse by clergy, the ABA Journal reported in a profile.
