ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — An investigation by Maryland’s attorney general has identified 158 Roman Catholic priests in the Archdiocese of Baltimore accused of sexually and physically abusing more than 600 victims over the past 80 years.

That's according to court records filed on Thursday. Attorney General Brian Frosh announced that his office has completed a 463-page report on the investigation, which began in 2019.

He filed a motion in Baltimore Circuit Court to make the report public.

Court permission is required to make the report public, because it contains information from grand jury subpoenas. It’s unclear when the court could make a decision.
