ERIE, Pa. – Diocese of Erie Bishop Most Rev. Lawrence Persico said he met with state Attorney General Josh Shapiro Wednesday to discuss the grand jury report into child sex abuse accusations within the diocese.
Persico said that he has decided not to seek any legal challenges to the grand jury process and its work.
“I realize that the grand jury report will contain information that will be difficult for all of us to hear, but in order for us to focus on the future, we have to have a solid knowledge of the past,” said Persico.
“The grand jury investigation and its report will provide a voice for the victims. We must listen to that voice and learn from it as we move forward.”
