10News Editorial: Bishop Brom

POSTED: 10:44 am PDT September 4, 2006

Bishop Brom, protect the innocent.

Civil lawsuits against the Diocese of San Diego are winding their way through the courts. As in most cases of alleged sexual abuse, the victim's names are not publicly disclosed.

But now, attorneys for Bishop Robert Brom and the local diocese want those names revealed in public court documents. They say it's in "the interest of fairness" to make their identities known to everyone.

Fairness? 10News says call it what it is -- intimidation. Subjecting these plaintiffs to the glare of public exposure simply doesn't benefit the legal process.

We call on Bishop Robert Brom to tell his attorneys to back off. Comply with California law and keep the alleged victims names out of the public eye. That's the right thing to do.

That's our opinion, what's yours?
