A Baltimore judge has ordered the public release of a redacted version of the Maryland Attorney General’s Office report detailing the history of childhood sexual abuse in the Catholic church.
Circuit Judge Robert Taylor presided over secret proceedings Feb. 14, with attorneys representing the attorney general’s office, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore, an anonymous group of people named in the report, and two separate groups of abuse survivors.
Taylor issued his written ruling Friday, directing the attorney general’s office to prepare a heavily-redacted report for public release.
