Wednesday, April 28th, 2021 -- 12:00 PM

(WBAY) Wisconsin’s Department of Justice has launched a website and phone number to confidentially report clergy sex abuse.

Attorney General Josh Kaul announced a statewide effort to investigate clergy abuse during a news conference Tuesday. He was joined by survivors and family of clergy abuse victims.  The reporting tools are confidential. Survivors and those who know about abuse can use the tools to report it to the state.

The DOJ says there will be an independent and thorough review of sex abuse committed by clergy and faith leaders in Wisconsin. There’s no statute of limitations to report abuse.
