I'd like to see the data backing up that accusation.

The last figure I saw was 300 for the entire country.

Boston...the Bastian of Liberalism.....Liberalism is EVIL...it has NO morals.....thus in a liberal place you will get evil people doing evil things. No oe wanted to blow the whistle because of so many doing immoral, evil things. Boston is a very sick place....so is San Francisco.

Maybe the mistake was from this, or something similar, from the Boston Globe today:

"[Attorney Mitchell] Garabedian began handling clergy sex abuse cases in the late 1980s and represented his first Geoghan victim in 1994. To date, the Boston-based lawyer estimates he has represented 250 alleged victims of dozens of priests."
