HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – Some Midstate churches are under the microscope six months after a critical report about child sexual abuse by priests in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown.
The state attorney general’s office is now investigating at least two more Catholic districts, including Harrisburg.
The investigation first came to light in the Allentown Morning Call thanks to state Rep. Mark Rozzi. He told ABC27 by phone Friday afternoon he testified in front of a grand jury in Pittsburgh last month about abuse he suffered as an altar boy in Allentown.
That diocese is now also under investigation.
“It came as no surprise to us,” said Nate Foote, an attorney with Andreozzi and Associates, a law firm that handles sexual abuse cases.
