A local chapter of an abuse advocate group is calling for an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations in the Catholic church.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, otherwise known as SNAP, is sending letters of demand to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Lucas County Prosecutor Julia Bates.
The group is asking for a grand jury and panel like the recent actions that were taken in Pennsylvania, where a report alleged more than 1,000 children were molested by over 300 members of the church.
Claudia Vercellotti is the longtime director for SNAP in Toledo and made the announcement at a press conference Monday afternoon.
