JW Doe v. Archdiocese of New Orleans, et. al.
June 16, 2023
United States District Court Eastern District of Louisiana
NO. 20-cv-1321

CHILD USA together with CHILD USAdvocacy, The Center for Child Policy, The Kempe Foundation, and the National Center on Sexual Exploitation wrote this brief in support Plaintiff’s Motion seeking to unseal the deposition testimony of Lawrence Hecker, a known pedophile living freely in the community, and to refer the case to law enforcement. In this brief we argue that compelling public policy purposes counsel in favor of unsealing the deposition of a known child abuser especially in light of the current bankruptcy proceedings.
