Superior Court Judge Barry Stevens has ordered a December 1 date for the Diocese of Bridgeport to release thousands of pages documenting allegations of sexual abuse by priests. Judge Stevens ordered the diocese to copy the documents, minus those that are allowed to remain sealed, such as priests' medical records, on a compact disc to be given to lawyers for the Hartford Courant, New York Times, Boston Globe and Washington Post, the Connecticut Post reports.
Under Stevens' ruling, the diocese must first provide the judge with an index identifying the documents that its officials believe should remain sealed.
The judge said he would then review that list.
