Following a grand jury report in Pennsylvania accusing more than 300 priests of sexually abusing more than a 1,000 children, there are calls for the attorney generals in Missouri and Kansas to launch into allegations of abuse by the Catholic Church.
Four men on Monday sat down in front of the TV cameras with representatives for the hundreds of people who say they’ve been sexually abused by priests.
Today the names of more than 200 accused priests in Kansas and Missouri were released, 45 of them are in the metro.
“As we’ve seen today with the events in Pennsylvania, there is a need for accountability and true reconciliation within the church,” said Scott Goodloe, victim of abuse.
Attorney Rebecca Randles said the revelation makes the case a “bigger scandal.”
“The numbers that we have compared to the population centers we have, make this probably an even bigger scandal,” she said.
