The Maryland Attorney General’s Office will release Wednesday a redacted version of its long-awaited report on child sexual abuse in the Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore, culminating four years of investigation and stirring hope among survivors that the public reckoning will help hold the church accountable. The report is nearly 500 pages long and will tell how 158 clergy sexually abused and tortured more than 600 children and young adults over an 80-year period beginning in the 1940s.
