State Rep. Mark Rozzi (D-Berks) on Friday called police to his district office after a member of his staff received a threatening phone call.
“They felt it was crazy enough to call Capital Police and also bring in our local township police,” Rozzi said speaking by phone from his district office in Mullenberg Township . “They are saying a lot of crazy things. They are concerned.”
The call came amid a story published by The Morning Call detailing a statewide investigation by the state Attorney General’s office into allegations of clergy sex abuse.
Among the diocese being investigated by grand jury prosecutors are the dioceses of Harrisburg, Allentown and Pittsburgh.
Rozzi said that while Friday’s caller was prompted by the story in The Morning Call, he has in the past received similar threatening calls.
“They are very will do anything to protect the church,” he said “That’s what this one guy is. This has nothing to do with the church. This is about predators within the church that are protected by the hierarchy.
