Update on grand jury investigation into clergy sex abuse.
There is new information about the grand jury investigation into clergy sex abuse in Erie and five other catholic dioceses around the state.
We have confirmed that Erie Bishop Lawrence Persico testified before the panel.
He was invited to do so, and testified voluntarily.
Other bishops only gave written statements.
That information came out of a ruling yesterday by the judge overseeing the panel.
