一个格鲁吉亚上诉法院驳回了对亚特兰大大主教区的虐待儿童诉讼,理由是诉讼时效过期,而且缺乏掩盖证据。 A Georgia appeals court dismissed a child abuse lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Atlanta, citing expired statutes of limitations and lack of evidence of cover-up.

一个格鲁吉亚上诉法院驳回了12名据称受害人对亚特兰大大主教区提出的诉讼,裁定诉讼时效已经到期,没有提供欺诈或掩盖的证据。 A Georgia appeals court dismissed a lawsuit by 12 alleged victims against the Archdiocese of Atlanta, ruling the statute of limitations had expired and no evidence of fraud or cover-up was provided. 索赔涉及1960年代至2000年代初期约翰·爱德华兹神父和豪尔赫·克里斯坦乔牧师的虐待,但法院没有发现任何证据,证明大主教隐瞒虐待或阻止受害者获得信息。 The claims involved abuse by priests John Edwards and Jorge Cristancho from the 1960s to the early 2000s, but the court found no proof the archdiocese concealed the abuse or blocked victims’ access to information. 与纽约和马里兰等已延长或取消虐待索赔时限的国家不同,这项决定在格鲁吉亚坚持严格的提交期限。 The decision upholds strict filing deadlines in Georgia, unlike states such as New York and Maryland that have extended or eliminated time limits for abuse claims.
