Despite the report being made public, there were still some names that were redacted.
Attorney General Anthony Brown called out the Baltimore Archdiocese for redacting 10 names of people who are living and accused in the report of committing child sexual abuse.
In a statement he says, "The Archdiocese can, at any time, publish those 10 names on their website as individuals who have been credibly accused of child sexual abuse, yet they have not done so, despite having the full and completed report since November, as well as information about those 10 individuals for many years."
Brown's full statement can be found below:
The Archdiocese of Baltimore made a public statement on their website regarding the redaction of the names of 10 individuals who are living and who are accused in the Report of committing child sexual abuse. To be clear, the redactions were done pursuant to the requirements set forth by a Court order. The Archdiocese can, at any time, publish those 10 names on their website as individuals who have been credibly accused of child sexual abuse, yet they have not done so, despite having the full and completed report since November, as well as information about those 10 individuals for many years. They are uniquely positioned to legally release those names to the public at any moment as part of their credibly accused list, should they choose to do so.”
