SAN DIEGO—Parishioners were told Feb. 12 that the Diocese of San Diego was considering filing for bankruptcy because of the “staggering legal costs” as the diocese faces new lawsuits alleging sexual abuse of minors in years past.
The new lawsuits were emerging because of AB218, the state lawmakers passed this assembly bill in 2019 removing the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse cases and giving victims a three-year window to file lawsuits, according to ABC10.
