How the world has changed in the 13 years since the Spotlight Team
first revealed that the leader of the Catholic Church in Boston,
Cardinal Bernard Law, allowed one of his priests to continue working
even though Law knew that Fr. John Geoghan had spent his career sexually
assaulting children.
Since the Globe uncovered a pattern of moving pedophile priests rather than stopping them, the scandal has spread to more than 100 cities across the nation and at least 100 more around the world. In the Boston archdiocese alone, more than 250 priests and brothers have been publicly accused of abusing minors. The Globe wrote 600 stories on priest sexual abuse in 2002 and won a Pulitzer Prize for revealing the coverup, which is chronicled in the new movie “Spotlight.”
