Local attorney, Rebecca Randles, hosted a news conference Monday afternoon at her office to announce launch a statewide grand jury-style investigation into clergy sex crimes and cover ups.
Randles touts that she is Missouri’s most experienced attorney representing victims of sexual abuse.
According to Randles, 228 Catholic priests across Missouri and the Archdiocese of Kansas in Kansas City have been accused of molesting kids.
Randles said last week’s grand jury report regarding sex abuse at Catholic Churches in Pennsylvania prompted Monday’s call to action.
“So it details that there is an even greater issue in the Kansas City, St. Louis, Missouri and the Archdiocese of Kansas than what we’re seeing out of the grand jury report out of Pennsylvania,” Randles said.
