St. Paul attorney to fight Mexican ban on visits
Tagged: attorney, Mexico, Peru“A St. Paul attorney detained in Mexico last month and recently barred from the country says he will not be silenced in his attempt to help Latino and Hispanic victims of clergy sex abuse.
Jeffrey Anderson announced at a news conference today that he will fight Mexico’s five-year ban on his entering the country, instituted last week. He also introduced Peruvian-trained lawyer Ivonne Manay, whom he has hired to advocate for Spanish-speaking abuse victims.
“In that culture, there is a reverence toward the Catholic Church that makes it a taboo to even speak of a priest abusing, much less a bishop covering up that abuse,” Anderson said. “We’re here to break that taboo.””
