Victims and advocates call on Baltimore archbishop to address discrepancies after new report details 'staggering' church sex abuse in Maryland
More than 150 Catholic priests and others associated with the archdiocese sexually abused over 600 children and often escaped accountability, the report says.
The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, known as SNAP, said in a statement that some omissions "might be understandable," but called for the archbishop to "err on the side of being more transparent" for the sake of victims and others. The report reveals the scope of over eight decades of abuse and coverup within the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
For example, one victim repeatedly contacted church officials in the late 1990s and early 2000s to report abuse he experienced in the 1930s at the hands of Father Alphonsus Figlewski, who would take altar boys on Baltimore's streetcars and touch them inappropriately, according to the report.

Maryland AG releases report on Catholic Church sex abuseThe Maryland Attorney General’s Office has publicly released a redacted version of an investigative report detailing sex abuse allegations against more than 150 Catholic priests and examining the Archdiocese of Baltimore’s response. The redacted findings were made public Wednesday afternoon, marking a significant development in an ongoing legal battle over its release and adding to a growing pile of evidence from parishes across the country as numerous similar revelations have rocked the Catholic Church in recent years. Former Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh launched the probe in 2019 and announced its completion in November, saying investigators had reviewed over 100,000 pages of documents dating back to the 1940s and interviewed hundreds of victims and witnesses.
