CHICAGO (AP) — An Illinois attorney general's office investigation released Tuesday found that 451 Catholic clergy sexually abused nearly 2,000 children in the state over a nearly 70-year period, which was more than four times the 103 individuals the church named when the state began its review in 2018.Attorney General Kwame Raoul said at a news conference that investigators found that Catholic clergy abused 1,997 children in Illinois between 1950 and 2019, though he acknowledged that the statute of limitations has expired in many cases and that those abusers “will never see justice in a legal sense.”“It is my hope that this report will shine light both on those who violated their positions of power and trust to abuse innocent children, and on the men in church leadership who covered up that abuse,” Raoul said, crediting the accusers for making the review possible. “These perpetrators may never be held accountable in a court of law, but by naming them here, the intention is to provi...

The popular Hanging Lake trail in Glenwood Canyon is temporarily closed because spring runoff has turned the trail into a running stream. The trail was closed Sunday after Deadhorse Creek, which flows beside the trail, overflowed its banks.And it will continue to be closed for Memorial Day weekend. Officials of the White River National Forest are hopeful the trail can be reopened on June 3.“The amount of water coming down the trail in many spots is really impressive,” said Eagle-Holy Cross district ranger Leanne Veldhuis, according to a news release. “There is currently no good way around the water, so we have closed the trail until the run-off lessens or our trail crew can mitigate it.
