The revelation that 71 Bridgeport Diocese priests molested 281 children over the last 66 years made it clear the diocese failed the victims.
That was one takeaway from the yearlong investigation that Pullman & Comley partner Robert Holzberg and his team of five attorneys and investigators found after interviews with survivors and others and sifting through more than 250,000 papers and electronic records.
The 67-year-old Holzberg, a former judge, unveiled the findings from the 250-page report at a press conference Tuesday. He then spoke to the Connecticut Law Tribune about the investigation.
