    Last April, the PA Attorney General’s Office established a toll-free phone number for survivors of child sex abuse (who were PA residents, or were abused by someone in PA) to call if they wanted to file a report of being sexually abused or molested as a child under 18 no matter how long ago the abuse happened or no matter who committed the abuse.

    The AG’s office is asking victims from all the places/institutions and all the alleged criminals that have literally gotten away with soul murder. Hopefully, the AG’s office will be able to take further steps to expose the criminals and the criminal institutions that aided and abetted the perps.

    1-888-538-8541

    While your specific abuse may have happened so long ago that there is no criminal or civil charges you can file, by your identifying perps and complicit institutions now, other victims may gain the courage to come forward once they realize they were not the only one abused by their perp.

    Additionally, we anticipate there are many institutions over the years that have hidden cases of child sex abuse when it happened and with the children they were supposed to be protecting.

    The perps and the institutions need to be held accountable for the damage that happened.

    1-888-538-8541

    Please call this number. Leave a message. Someone will call you back.

    Your story could be of help to other victims.
    And then SHARE, SHARE, SHARE this email/post!
    PS: If you lived in the Allentown Diocese when you were abused, please also contact Rep. Mark Rozzi.

    I don't understand how other victims would get to know that they were not the only one abused by a particular perp. simply by making a report to the PA's Attorney General's office. Particularly since the perp. will not be charged for anything.

    Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General agents descend on offices of Erie-based diocese

    By Dana Massing Erie Times-News


    Special agents from the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General descended Monday on the offices of the Catholic Diocese of Erie, serving a search warrant related to a state probe of clergy sex abuse.
    A diocese spokeswoman read the statement, which was handwritten because employees at the center weren't being allowed access to computers at the time.



    An Attorney General police truck and an SUV were parked in front of St. Mark Catholic Center, 429 E. Grandview Blvd., as men in shirts proclaiming them to be a "special agent" or "police" went in and out of the building Monday shortly before noon. None was available for comment.


    The diocesan building remained open Monday, with employees and visitors coming and going. Officials said they weren't requested by the Office of Attorney General to cancel any events there.It wasn't known how long the Attorney General agents would be on site or if they would return another day.The search warrant came a little more than two months after a subpoena.


    Former Attorney General Kathleen Kane launched the statewide probe after the release of a grand jury report in March on Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown. That report said two former bishops there had helped cover up the sexual abuse of hundreds of children by priests and other religious leaders over four decades.Dana Massing can be reached at 870-1729 or by email.
