The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, a national non-profit, has called on Democratic candidate for Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha to commit to investigating the Diocese of Providence.
Alliance for Safe Communities, a Rhode Island-based organization advocating for the victims of diocesan sexual abuse, says it has reached out to former U.S. Attorney Neronha regarding his unwillingness to commit to an investigation of the Catholic Diocese sex abuse scandal.
Now, in more than one dozen states across the country, attorney generals have launched investigations into the role of the respective dioceses and cover-up of abuse.
On Sunday night, CBS News magazine 60 Minutes unveiled how the clerical assistant to the Bishop of Buffalo in New York leaked thousands of documents unveiling a diocese cover-up.
