BALTIMORE — Scores of priests and other people affiliated with the Archdiocese of Baltimore sexually abused hundreds of children over more than 60 years, and church officials often protected the perpetrators while keeping their crimes a secret, Maryland’s attorney general said in a new report.
Wednesday’s report from Attorney General Anthony Brown alleges that 156 people — including priests and archdiocese personnel — abused more than 600 youths, causing lasting psychological trauma for survivors.
