City officials have opposed unsealing a $20 million sex-abuse lawsuit brought by the father of a youth inmate against a city employee and a D.C. Council candidate, according to lawyers in the case.

A D.C. judge issued the sealing order in October to protect the youth’s privacy and safety. But the lawyer for the teen’s father, who brought the lawsuit, said he thinks the case should be a matter of public record.  The Washington Times
