Watch Gail Huff's Report

Law has been accused of negligence for failing to protect children from Shanley, 71, who allegedly sexually assaulted boys from 1979 to 1989 while a priest at a Newton, Mass., church.

Church documents released in April showed that Law moved Shanley from parish to parish, even though Shanley had been the subject of sex abuse allegations as early as 1967. Law later also wrote a positive letter of recommendation for Shanley when the priest transferred to a California church.

The public will get its first look Tuesday at videotapes and transcripts from Law's earlier deposition in the case.

NewsCenter 5's Gail Huff reported that a Superior Court ruling paved the way for the release of the videotapes and transcripts, which will be filed with the Middlesex County Court Tuesday.

The parents of alleged sex abuse victim Gregory Ford were present during Law's June deposition and they said they are eager for the public to see Law's testimony first-hand.

Ford, 24, was allegedly abused as a young boy by Shanley. His parents said Law had a difficult time answering questions about Shanley during his two-day deposition earlier in the summer. They said they want the public to see Law under oath.

"They're going to hear a lot of inconsistencies. They're going to see a man that has lost all credibility. They're going to see a man who can no longer be a moral leader in this church," said Rodney Ford, Gregory's father.

His mother, Paula, said she has learned that she is now going to be called by church lawyers to testify in the case, as well as two others, including a 13-year-old boy who was a victim of former church worker Christopher Reardon. Reardon is now in prison after pleading guilty to molesting young boys.

She said the release of Law's transcripts will allow Boston's Catholics to get a clear picture of the man who is leading the archdiocese.

"I think it's blatant confirmation of what people have been thinking for a very long time, and that is that this is not a person who should be responsible for a diocese," said Paula Ford.

Law's spokeswoman is not commenting on the release of the transcripts.
