The details of each allegation seemed more harrowing than the last. Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane
today described numerous instances of sexual abuse by Roman Catholic
priests in the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese. A grand jury report says this
abuse was covered up by two bishops who led the diocese: James Hogan and James Adamec.
“Children reported having their genitals fondled, being forced to participate, watch or permit masturbation, being forced to perform or receive oral sex to or from priests and being anally raped,” Kane said before spending about 15 minutes describing specific allegations from the grand jury. Kane said the grand jury report names more than 50 priests and religious leaders over a 40-year period; there are hundreds of victims. “One victim, now over 50 years old, stated that his life ‘became a living hell,’” she said.
