The Pope's Long Con

From the Peabody Award-winning team behind "The Pope's Long Con," a new season of "Dig" is available now. This season, we meet Ronnie and Donnie Stoner. They were trusted educators and respected coaches. But in the summer of 2025, the twin brothers were indicted on more than 50 charges related to child sex abuse allegations. A group of young women say the abuse stretched back nearly two decades. So what took so long? Reporter Jess Clark follows the story of the women who say they survived the abuse, took matters into their own hands and are still fighting for the girls they used to be.

From the newsroom that brought you the Pope’s Long Con, check out our newest podcast, Dig. In the first season, we bring you the results of a yearlong look at how rape cases are investigated in Louisville. What we’ve learned: here, the police defer to prosecutors on rape cases — and prosecutors reject the vast majority of cases presented to them. Due to this unusual relationship, most people accused of rape here will never face consequences. Most won’t be arrested or convicted. And the case will be closed anyway. (Note: There are descriptions of a rape, and audio from a police body camera on the scene of a rape investigation, throughout this episode.) For more, visit kydig.org.
