LOS ANGELES (CA) All sexual-misconduct cases against Southern California priests will be handled by a single judge in Los Angeles, an LA County judge has ruled. The ruling is a half-victory for the Diocese of San Bernardino, which had petitioned the court to consolidate cases but wanted them heard in San Diego. That’s because most of the cases pending against the Inland diocese allege misconduct that would have occurred when Inland churches were still under the authority of the Diocese of San Diego, said Wil Lemann, the attorney representing the Inland diocese.
