Christine McGovern talks about the "living hell" her family went through after discovering her two brothers were priest sex abuse victims and trying to get importation on their abuse, after the release of sex abuse documents by 16 priest in the Diocese of Joliet, Ill., during a news conference Wednesday, April 30, 2014, in Chicago. The Diocese of Joliet encompasses seven counties just to the west and southwest of Chicago. It serves nearly 655,000 parishioners, including 39,000 students at 68 schools and three universities. Earlier this year, the Archdiocese of Chicago released some 6,000 pages of complaints, personnel documents and other files for about 30 priests. They show how the church often shielded priests and failed to report child sex abuse to authorities. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
