	Clay County Grand Jury Still Meeting on Child Sex Abuse Allegations Kansas City Star October 15, 2011 http://www.kansascity.com/2011/10/14/3208357/clay-county-grand-jury-still-meeting.html While Jackson County authorities announced criminal charges against Bishop Robert Finn and his Roman Catholic diocese on Friday, a Clay County grand jury continues to meet. Similar to the panel in Jackson County, the grand jury in Liberty is focusing on child sex abuse allegations. On Sept. 27, Finn and Monsignor Robert Murphy, the diocese’s vicar general, spent several hours before the Clay County grand jury. Both men have come under scrutiny for not responding immediately to concerns that arose about the behavior of the Rev. Shawn Ratigan, who faces child pornography charges in Clay County and in federal court. Clay County Prosecutor Daniel L. White declined to comment Friday about the ongoing investigation and the grand jury. | Glenn E. Rice, grice@kcstar.com
