In his July 20 ruling, Krumenacker emphasized that the report did not violated grand jury secrecy. He allowed the release of the “redacted brief” to the public “at the discretion of the Supreme Court.”
“A victory for the survivors” of clergy sexual abuse
In a statement, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said, “Our fear throughout this process has been that the entire Grand Jury report would be shelved and victims’ truth would be silenced.”
Additionally, he said the court’s decision ensures that will not happen. It is “a victory for the survivors” of clergy sexual abuse.
Furthermore, Shapiro promised to continue to fight for every victim of sexual abuse. He also vowed to hold every priest, bishop and church official accountable for their abhorrent conduct.
