Nearly 2,000 Children Were Sexually Abused By Catholic Clergy In Illinois, State Finds
An Illinois attorney general’s office investigation released this week found that 451 Catholic clergy sexually abused nearly 2,000 children in the state over a period spanning nearly 70 years. These figures are significantly higher than the 103 individuals previously acknowledged by the church when the state’s review began in 2018.
