A last-minute round of legal manoeuvring to keep some names from appearing in a grand jury report detailing a months-long investigation of clergy sex abuse claims in Pennsylvania may have kept the document from being made public on Wednesday – the earliest date given for its possible release.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper reported that confidential sources said "more than one" person filed a challenge under court seal. Some of those named in the report had been given until August 7 to file a challenge, objecting to their inclusion in the report because they have not had the legal opportunity to defend themselves. They are scheduled to have a hearing with the court in September.
