	Church Offers Its Sexual Abuse Prevention Improvements WCAX [Concord NY] May 12, 2006 http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=4895940&nav=4QcS CONCORD, N.H. The attorney general's office says New Hampshire's Roman Catholic Diocese has given a constructive response to how it will improve its sexual abuse prevention program. Senior Assistant Attorney General Will Delker says the state won't publicize details of the response before prosecutors and church officials have a chance to discuss the issue in person, perhaps as early as next week. In March, Attorney General Kelly Ayotte criticized the diocese for not meeting state expectations in preventing and handling sexual abuse in the church. She listed several shortcomings, including the diocese's failure to complete criminal background and sex offender checks on the clerics, employees and volunteers who have contact with children.
