PENNSYLVANIA ATTORNEYS GENERAL INVESTIGATE
SIX CATHOLIC DIOCESES
Events Preliminary to Report I, Final, Redacted
Following the investigation and report into the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, PA AG Kathleen Kane initiated the 40th PA Investigating Grand Jury into the six PA dioceses which hadn't previously been independently investigated by state or county grand juries. Acting AG Bruce Castor very briefly oversaw the investigation, followed by AG Bruce Beemer, whose four month tenure coincided with the time I was most actively engaged with agents of the OAG and testifying before the grand jury.
