Letter asks Albany DA David Soares to review records
Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger of the Albany Roman Catholic Diocese has invited Albany District Attorney David Soares to review the diocese’s records on sex abuse cases.
Scharfenberger announced the invitation in an open letter Thursday, calling the decision a necessary one that “ultimately will result in much good but one that is likely to be difficult and incredibly challenging for us for the foreseeable future.”
The letter from Scharfenberger came out on the same day state Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood announced her office has established a hotline and online complaint form as part of the state’s ongoing investigation into clergy sex abuse in all eight New York state dioceses.
