ALBANY, N.Y.— New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood has subpoenaed all eight Roman Catholic dioceses in the state as part of her office’s investigation into the church’s handling of sex abuse allegations.

A law enforcement source familiar with the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly told The Associated Press the subpoenas went out Thursday.

The subpoenas seek documents relating to sexual abuse allegations, financial payments to possible victims or the findings from internal church investigations.

Underwood’s office is pursuing a civil investigation into how church leaders responded to reports of abuse.

A hotline and online complaint form have also been created for victims and anyone with information about abuse. New York Callers should dial 1-800-771-7755 or file a complaint online here. New Jersey callers can dial 855-363-6548.

In a statement, the Brooklyn Diocese said it has received the subpoena and is reviewing it.

“We have been collaborating closely with law enforcement for many years and stand ready to work with her office on this investigation,” the statement read.

“In 2002, the Diocese of Brooklyn handed over all allegations of sexual abuse of a minor by a priest or deacon, to the district attorneys in Brooklyn and Queens. Since that time, we have adopted a zero tolerance policy and have reported any and all allegations of sexual abuse to law enforcement.”

Messages to other dioceses have not been returned.

The announcement comes three weeks after a grand jury investigation found rampant sexual abuse of more than 1,000 children by about 300 priests in Pennsylvania.
