DA: NOT HALTING ABUSERS IS CRIMINAL

Westchester County District Attorney Jeanine Pirro called on prosecutors around the state yesterday to mount a lobbying campaign to make it a crime to allow known sex abusers access to children.  Her effort builds on a grand jury report released Tuesday, which slammed the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York for past decisions not to bring sex abuse allegations to civil authorities even after receiving multiple complaints against a priest.
