The Diocese of Duluth, Minn., and attorneys representing child sexual abuse victims have agreed to enter mediation for victim claims, WDIO.com reported yesterday. The Diocese of Duluth filed for bankruptcy in December, saying that the move will allow them to protect assets and pay out what is due to victims. However, Judge Robert Kressel encouraged the Diocese and all parties involved to work with a mediator. Bankruptcy Judge Gregg Zive, who has experience in diocesan bankruptcy cases, is expected to be approved as mediator by Judge Kressel.
