Faculty Works: Criminal Justice and Legal Studies

A Special Grand Jury was impanelled in 2002-2003 to investigate and make recommendations concerning the Diocesan sexual abuse scandal in Rockville Centre. The Grand Jury issued a report after the presentation by myself and co-counsel in the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. The Report describes the history of the sexual abuse problem in the Diocese as well as the ensuing coverup. Many of the recommendations were legislatively adopted in Albany.
