Spotlight Team. “Church Allowed Abuse by Priests for Years.”

January 6, 2002

Boston Globe. The two-part series exposes the clergy sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, describing how Cardinal Bernard Law and top church officials covered up incidents of sexual abuse by priests, including repeatedly transferring Rev. John Geoghan from parish to parish for many years after he was first accused of committing abuse. The series wins a Pulitzer Prize in 2003* and becomes the basis for a move in 2015.*
