A law firm that has published more than two dozen reports about sexual abuse in the Catholic church released a report Wednesday that includes information about 102 clerics who are accused of child sexual abuse and worked within the Archdiocese of Denver, and the dioceses of Pueblo and Colorado Springs.
The report from Jeff Anderson and Associates includes 95 names. Seven priests in the report are unidentified.
It comes on the heels of an independent review from former U.S. Attorney Bob Troyer, which named 43 Catholic priests who were accused of sexually abusing children in those same three dioceses.
The report from Troyer was limited and did not include religious order priests or other religious clerics associated with the dioceses. It only included “credible” abuse reports since 1950.
The so-called “Anderson Report” is one of 26 released in various jurisdictions where Anderson said there was a “gross underreporting of the perils that have existed both past and present.”
