Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report
Pennsylvania Diocese Victims Report
The Pennsylvania Diocese Victims Report (often referred to as the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report) "serves as the holding ground for the results of a two-year grand jury investigation into widespread sexual abuse of children within six dioceses of the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania and the systemic cover up by senior church officials in Pennsylvania and at The Vatican." It began in 2016 and investigated sexual abuse in the Dioceses of Allentown, Scranton, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Greensburg and Erie. A total of 301 priests were accused of sexually abusing children. Below is a list of each credibly accused priest broken down by Diocese.
