The Diocese of Monterey has released the names of 30 Clergymen who have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct with a child.
According to the Diocese, the assaults go back to the 1950’s.
There have been two allegations received since the Charter for Protection of Children and Young People was put into effect in 2002 and implemented in the Diocese of Monterey in 2003.
The Diocese hired an outside law firm, Paul Gaspari of Weintraub Tobin, to review allegations against church workers.
“The Monterey diocese wants to ensure their people, there is no priest actively administrating in the diocese against whom there is a credible allegation of child abuse,” lawyer Paul Gaspari said.
None of the Clergymen on the list are currently with the Diocese.
The Diocese of Monterey said there have been no credible sexual misconduct allegations raised against a Clergyman since 2009.
