Ten survivors of sexual abuse within the Archdiocese of Baltimore testified in federal court, sharing harrowing accounts of abuse and its lasting impact. The Archdiocese filed for bankruptcy days before Marylands Child Victims Act took effect, leading to over nine hundred claims. Survivors are fighting to dismiss the bankruptcy and challenge the Archdioceses claim of charitable immunity. Archbishop Lori acknowledged the lasting effects of the abuse, but survivors remain skeptical of the churchs intentions. The survivors hope their testimonies will ensure fair compensation and hold the church accountable for its actions.
