PENNSYLVANIA ATTORNEYS GENERAL INVESTIGATE
SIX CATHOLIC DIOCESES |
After working with the PA Attorney General's office I was subpoenaed to testify before the 40th Pennsylvania Statewide Investigating Grand Jury on October 18, 2016. My prior sworn written testimony was entered as an exhibit, an overview of which can be found here. I also provided the grand jurors with an exhibit which Bishop Lawrence Persico of the Diocese of Erie had withheld from the Grand Jury, which provided a key to the prosecution of the state-wide investigation.
I have completed a subsequent written sworn affidavit on the following matters related to the Grand Jury, for which further inquiries can be made here. Since testifying, I have also completed research on nearly 350 Pennsylvania accused and unaccused priests who offended against children in the state, and on every diocesan structure in PA. Additionally, I have completed four sworn statements related to these matters which may be available whole or in part. In any request for information, please be sure to include your full name, law firm, police/state agency, media outlet or any person you represent, and I will assist if I am able.
