Hundreds of Catholic clergy in Illinois sexually abused thousands of children, AG finds

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul will discuss his office's investigation into alleged sexual abuse of children by Catholic clergy in the state going back decades.
The investigation was launched by Raoul's predecessor, Lisa Madigan, after finding the church's own investigation to be seriously lacking.
A preliminary report found that the church's six dioceses had done a poor job of investigating allegations, and in some cases, didn't investigate them at all or notify the state's child welfare agency.
