A panel of New Jersey judges ruled last week that Seton Hall University doesn’t have to release the first two parts of the university’s three-part 2019 investigative report on sexual abuse allegations against former cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who died last year.
The ruling on those records is the latest development regarding a lawsuit that dates back to 2020, when the Superior Court of New Jersey consolidated some 450 sexual abuse complaints into one case against the university. Seton Hall retained the law firm of Gibbons PC, which then retained the law firm Latham & Watkins LLP to conduct an independent investigation into McCarrick, which the ruling refers to as the Latham Report.”
But the plaintiffs didn’t find out about the existence of the Latham Report until 2024, when Politico reported on it; after that, their legal team sought to obtain it.
