HARLOW: Confessions, cover ups, rape, incredibly disturbing details from grand jury report revealing more than 300 Catholic priests sexually abused more than 1,000 children in Pennsylvania. Some of these cases date as far as back as 1947, and I want to warn you the details are extremely graphic and disturbing, but it's really important to lay them out there fully to understand the full scale of the abuse here. One priest is accused of raping a 7-year old girl who is in the hospital, a 7-year old girl after her tonsils were removed. Another priest accused of impregnating a 17-year old girl and then arranging an abortion. And the grand jury also uncovered a ring of priests who had allegedly shared information by creating pornographic videos where they used whips to sadistically torture their victims. One of the survivors spoke this morning with CNN. Listen to Shaun Dougherty.</s>SHAUN DOUGHERTY, VICTIM OF PRIEST ABUSE: Since coming forward now, 350-some priests and now, since I've been public about this for two years, you know, am standing on the shoulders of many, many before me that unfortunately many are no longer with us. And they're propping me up right now and I have to tell you, I'm completely at peace today.</s>HARLOW: Our correspondent, Jean Casares, is following this, and with me now. And Jean, the attorney general said in this press conference, this cover-up stretched all the way up to the Vatican?</s>JEAN CASAREZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: And we have heard from the Vatican, so to speak. They are saying this morning that they are not releasing a statement on this report or on this abuse at this time. So we'll see what happens in the short term. But this massive report, 885 pages, so much was learned about what priests did to young children, but also the procedure of how they covered it up. We learned in this from this report that there were secret archives in every diocese and that's where they would have these internal documents that actually described the abuse.
