STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PRESENTING ABUSE REPORT TO JUDGE

The state Attorney General’s Office is expected to give its report on sexual abuse within the Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore to a judge today.  Baltimore Circuit Judge Robert Taylor set today as the deadline for Attorney General Anthony Brown to submit a redacted version of the 456-page report, which was completed in November.  The report was completed after a four-year investigation on alleged abuse by Catholic clergy and other officials of more than 600 children and young adults.  The report also details cover-up efforts by the church.
