BALTIMORE (WBFF) – In an effort to improve transparency and encourage more victims of childhood sexual abuse by priests and religious brothers to come forward, the Archdiocese of Baltimore has published a list of those who have been accused of abuse in the past. The list, originally published in September 2002, included 57 men. It did not include those accused after their deaths or cases where an investigation “concluded that the facts did not indicate sexual abuse had occurred.”
The list below also includes priests and religious brothers who have been accused since 2002 of child sexual abuse after that list was originally published, totaling 71 clergymen. All allegations have been reported to law enforcement and to the Archdiocese’s Independent Child Abuse Review Board. If allegations against a person were investigated and not deemed credible, that subject’s name was not included in the list.
According to the Archdiocese of Baltimore, “None of the individuals listed here are in ministry in the Archdiocese of Baltimore; some have died and some have been laicized–all have had their faculties to function as a priest in the Archdiocese of Baltimore removed.”
