The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests — also known as SNAP — held a press conference on Monday outside Jacob Weinberger United States Courthouse to speak out against the local diocese filing bankruptcy.“Bankruptcy is a horrible thing to happen to a survivor of child sexual abuse, and our number one goal is to make sure that predators are exposed and survivors get the day in court that they have earned," SNAP volunteer Joelle Casteix said.
“In February of last year, I wrote to you indicating that it was highly likely that the Diocese of San Diego would enter into bankruptcy as an effort to achieve the settlement of the approximately 450 legal claims that have been brought to court seeking compensation for victims of sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy and lay employees over the past eighty years.
