This morning, today's show is about a report of sex crimes against children.

The details are utterly heinous.

We'll start in a few seconds.

On Tuesday, a grand jury in Pennsylvania issued a 1300 page report detailing sex abuse within

the Catholic Church.

Over 1000 child victims were identified by our investigation.

Though the grand jury notes that they believe that number was in the thousands.

As the report reads, we should emphasize that while the list of priests is long, we don't

think we got them all.

The report is graphic, it's horrifying, and it names names.

Father William Presley gave a boy sedatives to relax him before his abuse, then told him

it was okay because he was a priest.

Father Edmund Paracotel, an altar boy, not to wear any clothing underneath their

casics because God didn't want clothes on their skin as they served mass.

The report also calls out the church as a whole.

One of the lines from the report was priests were raping little boys and girls, and the

men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing, they hid it all for decades.
