	Report: LA Cardinal Subject of Federal Probe The Associated Pres January 28, 2009 http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ilg-XpU7rvtWx3qbEwd152oTmBiwD960GVL00 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal prosecutors reportedly are investigating top officials of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles over their handling of alleged clergy child molestation cases. Citing two unidentified law enforcement officials familiar with the case, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that Cardinal Roger M. Mahony is among those being investigated by a federal grand jury to determine if he failed to keep children safe from predatory priests. The U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles would not comment on the reports. Mahony's attorney, J. Michael Hennigan, tells the Times that federal prosecutors contacted the archdiocese and requested information on individual priests. But Hennigan says he has been informed that Mahony is not a target of the inquiry.
