More than 270 priests in Massachusetts abused children over decades, probe finds
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
The report provided what Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell called the first full public accounting of the abuse and institutional failures that allowed it to proliferate for more than half a century at the Catholic dioceses of Fall River, Springfield and Worcester.
The Diocese of Worcester in a statement said it would study the report "to identify any additional improvements that can be made to respond to victims of past abuse and to continue to strengthen efforts to keep children safe." The other two did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
