The suit also nams the former bishop of Wheeling-Charleston for knowingly hiring pedophile priests
West Virginia's attorney general filed a lawsuit Tuesday against a retired Catholic bishop and a diocese alleging that they knowingly employing pedophile priests and failed to conduct adequate background checks.
"The diocese and its bishops chose to cover up and conceal arguably criminal behavior of admitted child sex abusers," the lawsuit says. The diocese said that some of the allegations in the lawsuit are more than 50 years old and are not accurately described. “Our investigation reveals a serious need for the diocese to enact policy changes that will better protect children, just as this lawsuit demonstrates our resolve to pursue every avenue to effectuate change as no one is above the law,” Morrisey said in a statement.
