A yearslong investigation by the Maryland Attorney General’s Office identified over 600 victims of child sexual abuse by priests in the state over a period of 80 years. The findings follow in the wake of dozens of similar reports in recent years in the U.S. and across the world. The state’s attorney general, Brian Frosh, filed a motion in the Circuit Court of Baltimore on Thursday, Nov. 17, to release the full contents of the 456-page report, according to a news release from his office. “For decades, survivors reported sexual abuse perpetrated by Catholic priests and for decades the Church covered up the abuse rather than holding the abusers accountable and protecting its Congregations,” Frosh said in the release. “The Archdiocese of Baltimore was no exception.”
