to shut down the grand jury investigation. On July 27, 2018, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered that a redacted copy of the grand jury report be released to the public; this release occurred in August 2018. On July 31, 2018, John T. Sweeney, a former priest in the Diocese of Greenburg, pleaded guilty to molesting a 4th grade boy at some point between September 1991 and June 1992. Immediately following Sweeney's plea, the Diocese of Greensburg made a statement pledging future cooperation. In the statement, which was reported by Crux on August 4, the Diocese of Greensburg agreed to continue educating "both children and adults in parishes and schools of the Diocese of Greensburg on how to spot and report suspected abuse." The Diocese also agreed to recommend reporting incidents of sexual abuse to the PA ChildLine and report any alleged incident of sexual abuse to "PA Childline and the appropriate district attorney." On August 9, 2018, Greensburg Bishop Edward Malesic issued an apology on behalf the Diocese, acknowledged there were numerous reports of sex abuse of children between the 1950s and 1980s, and announced that the Diocese would release the names of the accused clergy when the grand jury report is published. The grand jury report was published on August 14, 2018 and showed that of the 301 priests accused of sexual abuse in the six dioceses, only 20 clergy were from the Diocese of Greensburg. The report also showed that one of the accused in the Diocese of Greensburg also impregnated a 17 year old girl. The priest then covered up the pregnancy by marrying the girl after forging the head pastor's name on a marriage certificate and then filing for divorce months later. Despite fathering a child with a minor and being married and divorced, the priest still remained in the ministry. On December 21, 2018, Sweeney was given a 11 1/2 month to 5 year prison sentence, which he immediately began serving. In October 2019, one of Sweeney's victims who he admitted to sexually abusing filed a lawsuit against the Diocese of Greensburg. The victim, who chose to remain anonymous, sought a $1,000,000 settlement. Roger Sinclair was laicized in 2002 after being accused of sexually abusing children in the Diocese of Greensburg. In 2018, Sinclair was convicted of sexually abusing disabled boys in the state of Oregon. On August 13, 2020, two sexual misconduct lawsuits were
