By ADF Alliance Alert

ADVERTISEMENTS
Columbia Missourian: "This ruling is significant because it is the first time a Missouri court has held that a negligence case could be pursued against a church for sexual abuse,' said Ken Chackes, the plaintiff's attorney, who has handled about 100 cases involving alleged sexual abuse involving the clergy. In earlier lawsuits, victims had to prove that the church knew the abuser was going to harm children and failed to take actions to prevent it." Hat tip: Religion Clause Blog
