MADISON - Wisconsin authorities will launch an investigation into the state s Catholic dioceses and religious orders to determine how many clergy members have sexually assaulted children over the years.
Attorney General Josh Kaul notified the state s five dioceses and some orders that his office will conduct a review of sexual abuse at the hands of clergy and other faith leaders, according to a letter obtained by USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin. Wisconsin is home to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and dioceses in Madison, Green Bay, La Crosse and Superior. I agree with the many survivors of clergy abuse, and those who support and have advocated for them, that a review by our office is necessary to provide accountability and, ultimately, healing, Kaul wrote. I hope you will welcome that review.
