Massachusetts AG finds 270-plus Catholic clerics abused 944 children in three dioceses, no new charges
The report says church leaders in Fall River, Springfield and Worcester knew and covered it up.
Most of the abuse happened before 2002, and statutes of limitation kept nearly all of it out of court.
The probe by the numbers:
- More than 300,000 pages of documents reviewed and more than 100 interviews (Axios)
- 3 cases referred to district attorneys; 1 led to charges (Guardian)
