A Massachusetts attorney general report into alleged child sexual abuse at some Catholic dioceses has been kept private for years. New reporting delves into what survivors do know and what they’re eager to find out.

This week’s panel includes Nancy Eve Cohen, senior reporter for NEPM; Eric Lesser, former state senator for the 1st Hampshire and Hampden District; and Greenfield Recorder’s Chris Larabee.
