The Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh will cooperate fully with the state’s investigation of sex abuse allegations within the diocese, Bishop David Zubik said in a written statement posted in a CBS Pittsburgh story.
The state attorney general’s office subpoenaed the diocese as part of its grand jury investigation of sex abuse within the Harrisburg, Allentown and Pittsburgh dioceses.
Zubik stated:
“In the ongoing need to protect children from abuse, I welcome the opportunity to work closely with the state attorney general’s office. In his cover letter to me, Deputy Attorney General Daniel Dye wrote that “our efforts do not have to be adversarial. . . . Our work to protect children and seek the truth should be a joint endeavor.” I could not agree more. We are absolutely committed to protecting children from abuse.
