Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley wants victims of sex abuse by Catholic priests to know that he is determined to learn everything there is to know about such crimes and cover-ups in this state. “They need to have confidence that this isn’t a whitewash,” he said in a Friday phone interview with The Star’s editorial board. Along with victims’ groups, we called on Hawley earlier this week
to launch a thorough statewide investigation of the kind recently
completed in Pennsylvania, where more than 1,000 children were found to
have been sexually abused by priests over the last 70 years. For all of
those 70 years, that abuse was covered up and victims treated with
stunning indifference.
