More calls about clergy sex abuse are coming into the Erie Catholic Diocese.
Since the Pennsylvania Attorney General grand jury report was released last week, the diocese has received 22 new complaints of sexual or physical abuse against minors, plus 5 new complaints alleging sexual abuse with adults.
The allegations are against 12 priests, 5 that are not included in the grand jury report, plus 8 lay people, all newly accused.
So the totals are 13 newly accused of abuse, 5 priests and 8 lay people.
