In the Sanders case, though, the state has long refused to share what it knows with the public. “The Office of Attorney General has a legal and ethical duty to zealously represent its clients — here a state university. The report is not ours to release; it is the client’s report and remains under court seal,” said Joe Grace, Shapiro’s spokesman. The state’s actions in the Sanders case and the clergy abuse coverup differ in important aspects. The state attorney general’s office has said it couldn’t do its own criminal investigation because its civil division was already representing East Stroudsburg in the students’ lawsuit.
