On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz focus on something horrible that was brought to light in 2002 by the Boston Globe. It involves at least 100 priests in the greater Boston area alone who were continuously molesting and assaulting young boys. When the story broke, it was discovered that this wasn't just a Massachusetts problem- but one that the whole world shares. The movie Spotlight, released in 2015, follows the journalists as they uncover the truth about the Catholic Church in their city, specifically following John Geoghan, a priest who was accused of molesting at least 130 young boys in his career. Not only were the numbers scary, but the blatant covering-up of these cases by the Archdiocese of Greater Boston sparked alarm and fear that remains in the Catholic Church to this day.
