Massachusetts AG report: 900+ victims, 70-year clerical abuse cover-up in 3 dioceses

Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell released a report documenting over 900 victims of clerical sexual abuse across three dioceses over 70 years, alleging systematic cover-up by church leaders who transferred accused priests and pressured authorities. The findings are based on a multi-year investigation and represent a formal state-level condemnation of institutional practices, though criminal prosecutions may be limited by statutes of limitations.
