ALLOUEZ, WI (WTAQ) – An investigation firm from Texas is coming into Green Bay to assist in the Catholic Church’s ongoing sexual abuse crisis.
The Catholic Diocese of Green Bay announced on Thursday the hire of Texas-based Defenbaugh & Associates Inc. to lead the review into sexual abuse.
The diocese has said that Danny Defenbaugh has worked for the FBI for more than 30 years. The outside review is expected to begin next month.
An annual review of clergy files has already been conducted according to diocesan officials.
This news comes a week after the announcement that auxiliary bishop Robert Morneau would be withdrawing from public ministry following his mishandling of an abuse case in the 1970s.
