Shaun Dougherty's disclosure of abuse by his priest when he was a child launched the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Investigation of 2016 into the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese. That sparked the state wide Grand Jury Investigation into the remaining 6 dioceses. That bombshell report identified over 1,000 victims who were abused by over 300 priests who where hidden within the Catholic church.

A damning story broke September 18th which reported that Pennsylvania Senator Folmer, who stood opposed to statute of limitation reform, was arrested for child porn. One of the images was of a very young girl performing oral sex on a man. Shaun was "basically laughed out of Folmer's office" when he was pleading with the senator to do something to help protect children. We discuss this and more in this episode.
