New details have been made public in the grand jury investigation into sex abuse claims in the Catholic church.
Lawyers arguing on behalf of current and former clergy are submitting their opposition to releasing the report on six dioceses, including Harrisburg.
Last month, the state Supreme Court blocked the release of the findings after those named in it were allowed to review portions of it.
One of the court filings involves allegations against someone in the Pittsburgh Diocese who lawyers say didn’t have a chance to defend himself and wasn’t given any other required aspect of due process.
The court documents indicate that in the Pittsburgh Diocese alone, the grand jury report lists more than 90 individuals described as “offenders.”
