The bishop for a Catholic diocese that includes Lancaster County says a Pennsylvania grand jury’s findings about sexual abuse by priests and lay leaders should be made public.
The Diocese of Harrisburg has joined five other Pennsylvania dioceses under investigation in saying they won’t challenge the release of the report sometime next month.
A grand jury investigation into widespread abuse began in 2016. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said Monday that he expects to announce the findings by the end of June, now that all six dioceses support making a report public.
