Baltimore police are asking anybody spurred by the new Netflix series "The Keepers" to report abuse allegations online.

Anyone who may have been abused at Archbishop Keough High School or anywhere else is asked to report the abuse online.

Before and, largely, since A. Joseph Maskell's 2001 death, the defrocked priest has been the target of a number of sexual assault allegations. Before he died, Maskell denied allegations of misconduct. However, the Archdiocese of Baltimore has paid out numerous civil settlements stemming from the allegations.

Maskell was also suspected in the death of Sister Cathy Cesnik, the Baltimore nun found dead in Lansdowne nearly 50 years ago. The murder investigation is at the center of the Netflix series, which follows the similar true-crime series "Making A Murderer." Maskell's remains, exhumed earlier this year, didn't match DNA recovered from the crime scene, Baltimore County police said.
