Findings that rest on exhibits naming this entity

  • REL-3.3: A Pennsylvania grand jury report released on 14 August 2018, based on half a million pages of documents from six Catholic dioceses, found credible allegations against more than 300 priests and more than 1,000 identifiable child victims in the dioceses' own records. The report says FBI behavioral analysts identified seven practices that recurred in the files, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered the identities of 11 priests who challenged the report permanently redacted.
