Harrisburg – If a common pleas judge in Cambria County gets his way, more information may be released about a sweeping grand jury report on sexual abuse of children in six of Pennsylvania’s eight Catholic dioceses.
Norman Krumenacker, the Cambria County judge who presided over the investigation, said Friday a legal response from the state attorney general that includes some information from the report should be released.
The grand jury report was initially slated for release late last month.
But a number of current and former clergy members challenged it, arguing its release would violate their constitutional rights because they were named but not charged. So, the state Supreme Court stayed the report, allowing more time for appeals.
Attorney General Josh Shapiro recently filed an argument in favor of releasing the report, which includes some of the information in the report itself.
Shapiro’s brief hasn’t been made public yet.
