Yesterday a grand jury handed down the first indictments in the Cleveland Catholic Church sex abuse scandal. The intensive 7-month investigation reviewed tens of thousands of doucments and heard testimony from more than a thousand alleged victims of child sexual abuse. But critics charge that the Church still has to answer for fifty years of covering up abuse by men and women trusted by parishioners. County prosecutors say there will likely be more indictments brought against the Cleveland Diocese, some possibly from out of state. Ideastream's Karen Schaefer reports.
