The head of the Diocese of Harrisburg on Friday signaled that he might have concerns with aspects of the grand jury investigation into six dioceses in Pennsylvania, including his.
Bishop Ronald Gainer stressed that the diocese was cooperating with the investigation, however, the diocese is “also concerned about due process rights,” he said in a statement released to PennLive.
That marks the first time since the 18-month-long state investigation was launched into potential clergy sex abuse of children that any diocese has suggested that it may have concerns about the process.
Gainer’s statement comes one day after three dioceses issued statements indicating they would not launch any legal challenges to the investigation by the state Office of Attorney General.
