Docket No. 2020-02382

This amicus brief was written as a response to Defendant diocese’s challenge of a victim’s ability to bring a child sex abuse claim under a pseudonym. Issues include why a victim’s privacy interests outweigh the presumption of openness in courts, the importance of pseudonyms to prevent harm to victims, and how encouraging the use of pseudonyms advances the public policy of encouraging the disclosure of child sex abuse.
