More than 450 adult Catholic clergymen abused nearly 2,000 children in the state of Illinois over a period of almost 90 years, according to a report released Tuesday from Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul. The findings feature detailed accounts of alleged sexual abuse, lists of the accused clergymen, and recommendations to improve future investigations, keep churches accountable, and support survivors. The report “has served as a reminder that some clergy in the Church committed shameful and disgraceful sins against innocent victim survivors and did damage that simply cannot be undone,” the Diocese of Springfield said in a statement to CNN.
