Hundreds of children were sexually abused over a period of at least
four decades by priests or religious leaders in the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, a statewide investigating grand jury has
concluded.
The findings by the grand jury, released Tuesday by the office of state Attorney General Kathleen Kane, detail widespread abuse involving at least 50 priests or religious leaders. The findings reveal a troubling history of diocesan superiors concealing the child abuse as part of an effort to protect the church's image.
