Exhibit 476 · Court opinion

In re Fortieth Statewide Investigating Grand Jury, opinion of Justice Todd (remedy)

we must make permanent the redaction of Petitioners' identifying information from Report 1, which we previously ordered as an interim measure, as this is the only viable due process remedy we may now afford to Petitioners to protect their constitutional rights to reputation.

Decides the remedy question left open in July 2018: concludes no other remedy is available and makes the redaction of the identifying information of the petitioners (11 of the more than 300 priests named in Report 1) permanent.

Finding REL-3.3: Primary record 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.
