The Kansas City-St. Joseph Diocese has announced a five-point plan to address sexual misconduct by clergy.  The diocese implemented the first part of the process by hiring former U.S. Attorney Todd Graves to investigate allegations of a priest charged with child pornography possession.

Graves, who created state and federal task forces to investigate cyber crimes against children, will also lead a review of the diocese’s sexual misconduct policies and ethical code.
Graves says the review could last between 30 and 45 days.  Graves made protecting children a priority as a federal prosecutor.
