A new report by the Maryland Attorney General’s Office finds nearly 160 Catholic priests and other members of the Archdiocese of Baltimore raped or sexually abused more than 600 people over a span of eight decades. Its authors called the breadth and depravity of the abuse “astonishing.” Just hours after the report was released Wednesday, Maryland’s state Senate passed the Child Victims Act, which removes a statute of limitations to allow more survivors to sue people who sexually abused them. Governor Wes Moore promised to sign the bill into law. The Maryland Catholic Conference opposed the bill and has signaled plans to challenge it in court.
