The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) reached out to Governor John Bel Edwards as part of its latest request for a statewide investigation into child sex abuse allegations involving religious authorities in Louisiana.
The request came in an email sent to the Edwards’ office, officials over Louisiana State Police (LSP), and members of the media.
SNAP is asking Gov. Edwards to direct LSP to lead the investigation, based on statements SNAP leaders said were made by Attorney General Jeff Landry.
Those statements suggest it would have to be LSP that performs the investigation, SNAP leaders said.
