ALTOONA — A grand jury investigation found that hundreds of children were abused by priests in the Diocese of Altoona-Johnston, Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane said Tuesday.

Some of the alleged abuse took place in parishes in Clinton and Centre Counties, the report from the attorney general said.

Thousands of pages of documents and hand-written reports were seized from the diocese during the investigation.

Kane is urging lawmakers to suspend the statute of limitations in order to prosecute some of the alleged crimes.
