For those actually interested in the plaintiffs complaint:
The petitioners claim[ed] Bayhi was negligent in advising the minor regarding the alleged abuse and failed his duty as a mandatory reporter in compliance with the Louisiana Children's Code. It also holds the diocese liable for failing to properly train the priest regarding mandatory reporting of sexual abuse of minors.
The priest effectively shielded the perpetrator by failing to properly report the crime, and by failing to advise the victim of the proper course of action. That amounts to protecting the molester, regardless of whose confession he heard.
By treating this girl's confession with exactly the same confidentiality he treated everyone else's confession?
It doesn't matter. This is a non-negotiable for us. You can put every priest in the US in prison for life if you wish, "compelling state interest" be d-mned.
