2001年夏天, 波士頓環球報的「焦點新聞組」, 根據一篇關於當地神父被指控過往30年間性侵多名兒童的報導展開調查。雖然明知作出針對天主教會的調查和報導將會導致嚴重後果, 但焦點新聞的編輯、記者以及調查員都不遺餘力地追訪。他們訪問了兒時曾被性侵的受害人, 並向法院要求解封一些保密的法庭紀錄,發現教會刻意包庇及縱容的禽獸神父竟超過70名, 情況比想像中更有恃無恐及令人髮指! 即使受到教會人員甚至主教的阻撓,波士頓環球報依然不畏強權, 並於2002年1月刊登調查報導, 揭開驚天醜聞,更引發全球200多個城市陸續展開相關調查及揭發教會性侵事件。
Jack Dunn: I graduated in 1979, and I had no idea about any of this. So if you're suggesting that Father Gibbons and Father Callahan had in any way... Walter 'Robby' Robinson: Gibbons and Callahan. I mean, they ran this place like the Navy. You really think they didn't know? Jack Dunn: It's a big school, Robby. you know that. A-And we're talking about seven alleged victims over, what, eight years? Walter 'Robby' Robinson: No, we're talking about, you know, seven that we know about. Jack Dunn: This is ridiculous. You're reaching for a story here... Principal Bill Kemeza: Jack, Jack, Jack. If I had been president then, I would've known. Jack Dunn: Bill, I'm not sure that's relevant... Principal Bill Kemeza: Why do you think they sent Talbot up to Cheverus? You know they wanted him out of town. Pete Conley: Robby, as well-intentioned as Bill's remarks are, I'm hoping we can keep this between us until we all get on the same page. Walter 'Robby' Robinson: Is that why we're here, to get on the same page?
