Illinois report highlighting clergy abuse unlikely to lead to criminal charges against church
Fox News
The Illinois attorney general's report into clergy abuse in the state has ended after five years. The report is unlikely to lead to any criminal charges against abusive clergy.
That follows a familiar pattern — no rush of criminal charges followed the 2018 release of a bombshell grand jury report on clergy abuse in Pennsylvania or last month’s report on abuse in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
Advocates say they believe the report will help more people feel safe to discuss what happened to them with family, friends, support groups and law enforcement. They also say it could prompt people to file civil lawsuits, even for abuse long ago. They hope legislatures take further steps enabling prosecutors to charge older sex abuse cases and toughen standards for mandatory reporting.
