Tim Hale is calling to account the entire Franciscan brotherhood for allowing perpetrators to operate.
His partner David Nye began his career as a Los Angeles City Attorney.

“THERE’S A COMPELLING STATE INTEREST IN PROTECTING KIDS”

This is not a civil issue between one plaintiff and one religious order, even though the complaint is filed in the name of Mary Jones. -

“There’s a compelling state interest in protecting kids."
