Sweeping inquiry targets clergy sexual abuse in Wisconsin, regardless of when it occurred

(2021) Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul announced the state Department of Justice plans to conduct a sweeping inquiry into clergy and faith leader abuse in Wisconsin.

The investigation will provide a confidential means for victims to report sexual abuse by clergy or other faith leaders; people who have witnessed or know about such incidents of abuse; and for people to report what they know about the response to or concealment of abuse by clergy and faith leaders.

The DOJ will also ask for religious institutions to cooperate with its investigation by willingly handing over documents, but the DOJ declined to say how it would go about obtaining documents without the permission of churches or clergy.
