The long-awaited state grand jury report into sexual abuse in six Pennsylvania dioceses, including Pittsburgh and Greensburg, has finally been released.

The 884-page document, two years in the making, shines a light into the dark corners of these dioceses going back seven decades, exposing the predators and the efforts of their bishops to protect them.

"Today, the most comprehensive report on child sexual abuse within the church ever produced in our country was released," Attorney General Josh Shapiro said. "Pennsylvanians can finally learn the extent of sexual abuse in these dioceses. For the first time, we can all begin to understand the systematic cover up by church leaders that followed. The abuse scarred every diocese. The cover up was sophisticated. The church protected the institution at all costs."

Several clergy abuse victims who had testified before the grand jury attended Shapiro's news conference. At least one of them could be seen breaking down in tears.
