20:49Now PlayingAn investigation led by the Illinois Attorney General’s office has revealed a shocking prevalence of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church, accusing 451 clergymen of sexually abusing nearly 2,000 children over a span of 69 years. These numbers significantly exceed the initial 103 victims reported by the Catholic Church when the investigation was initiated in 2018. The report also suggests that Illinois church leaders were slow to respond to the abuse, often avoiding confrontations with accused clergy and failing to warn parishioners about potential abusers. Attorney General Kwame Raoul credits those who brought accusations against the church, stating, "It is my hope that this report will shine light both on those who violated their positions of power and trust to abuse innocent children and on the men in church leadership who covered up that abuse." As a result of the report, the Catholic dioceses in Illinois have pledged to review their policies and make necessary changes. This groundbreaking investigation echoes similar findings across various states and opens the conversation about the scale of abuse within the Catholic Church.
