Church Ad Campaign in Oregon Seeks Abuse Victims
Portland, Oregon - The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Portland will launch an advertising campaign this week to encourage people sexually abused by priests in Oregon to come forward, according to a church spokesman.
"It is part of a normal bankruptcy procedure to notify" possible claimants, archdiocese spokesman Bud Bunce said on Monday.
In July, Portland became the first U.S. diocese to file for bankruptcy. The move halted two trials seeking $155 million in damages for plaintiffs who claim they were abused by priests.
