On April 5, 2023, Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown released a redacted report documenting the results of a four-year investigation into allegations of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy members. The report reveals a history of widespread abuse and systemic cover-up by clergy and others within the Archdiocese of Baltimore. For decades, clergy members exploited their positions of power to prey on young people. The Archdiocese of Baltimore concealed and covered up known sexual abuse of children by reassigning pedophile priests, failing to report sexual abuse of children to law enforcement, and providing financial support to known abusers. The Maryland AG report lists over 150 individuals credibly accused of sexual abuse in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, acknowledging that more perpetrators may exist.
