That’s thanks to a law just signed by Governor Dan McKee.Jim Scanlan has been advocating for this bill at the State House for years. He was sexually abused in the late 1970s by a Boston College High School priest. His real-life story was the basis for a character known as “Kevin from Providence” in the acclaimed movie, “Spotlight,” about The Boston Globe’s investigation revealing the Catholic Church knew about sexual abuse of children in its ranks. Scanlan joins host Edward Fitzpatrick to tell his story and explain why this new law is important. Tips and ideas? Email us at rinews@globe.com .
