Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro pushes for legal change after clergy abuse report

After the release of a grand jury report detailing some of the alleged sexual abuse of children by members of Pennsylvania’s Catholic clergy, state Attorney General Josh Shapiro joined advocates for victims of clergy abuse and other elected officials to call change for an end to the statute of limitations for child sex abuse.

“I want to be clear, we unearthed an organized criminal enterprise here in Pennsylvania, for now, they got away with some of it,” Shapiro said while calling for action now.
