Catholic Church Faces Fierce Legal Battle Over Abuse Allegations
The Roman Catholic Church of Hawaii is embroiled in a controversial legal dispute after a mother sued the church over abuse allegations involving her son and a parish sacristan. In an unexpected twist, the church countersued, accusing her of negligence for letting her children stay at the sacristan's apartment. This case is part of a larger trend of the church's aggressive defense tactics in sexual abuse cases, including investigating accusers and using legal maneuvers to avoid settlements and protect internal documents.
