WASHINGTON
Edmonds Beacon
[with full list]
The Archdiocese of Seattle has released the name of 77 Catholic clergy in Western Washington accused of sexually abusing children between 1923 and 2008.
The list includes members who served or lived in Arlington, Bothell, Edmonds, Everett, Lynnwood, Monroe, Mountlake Terrace and Snohomish.
“I express my deepest apologies for the actions of those who were in positions of trust and who violated that sacred trust by abusing the vulnerable in their care,” said Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain in a news release.
“Our work in this area will not be complete until all those who have been harmed have received assistance in healing, and until the evil of child sexual abuse has been eradicated from society.”
