A group that advocates for victims of sexual abuse by priests wants a Jackson County grand jury to investigate sex crimes by priests in the Kansas City-St. Joseph diocese…and cover-ups of the incidents by the diocese.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests says 80 people claim to have been abused by 18 current and former priests in the diocese, nobody has been prosecuted.
An assistant prosecutor says he’ll discuss the issue with the organization soon.
