A 463-page report released by the Maryland Attorney General’s Office has exposed that over 150 Catholic priests and clergy allegedly abused over 600 children just in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Starting in 2019, investigators reviewed hundreds of thousands of documents dating back to the 1940s that included ‘treatment reports, personnel records, transfer reports, and policies and procedures.’ The archdiocese has paid over $13million to about 300 victims since the 1980s, and has since instituted a zero-tolerance policy for clergy accused of sexual abuse.
The same year archdiocese was sent a letter signed by members of his congregation, Sacred Heart of Mary in Baltimore, who said he was bringing ‘young girls into the rectory under suspicious circumstances and talk[ed] for hours.’ On Wednesday. the Maryland legislature passed a bill that would completely remove the current statute of limitations. It was sent to the desk of Governor Wes Moore, who has previously said he would sign the bill into law.
