Sexual abuse of hundreds of children by Catholic priests
According to an investigative report, over 600 children were raped and otherwise sexually abused by Catholic clergy of the Baltimore archdiocese in the state of Maryland in the northeastern United States over six decades.
Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown has published a report on these abuses occurring between the 1940s and 2022 in this archdiocese.
An archdiocese refers to a specific area under the jurisdiction of a bishop.
The published report lists the names of 156 clergy members who have assaulted children, and it states that the actual number of victims is likely even higher.
