Fr. Joseph F. Alzugaray
Ordained for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in 1967. Incardinated into the Diocese of Santa Rosa 6/17/1996. Sued in 2004 for the alleged sexual abuse of a girl 1967-1970, beginning when the girl was age 8 and a student at Immaculate Conception Parish school in Monrovia, where Alzugary was assigned. He then sued her for defamation of character; his suit was dismissed in 4/2006. He also sued SNAP and the woman’s attorney. SNAP sued him for malicious prosecution and settled. The Santa Rosa Diocese said Alzugaray was absolved of wrongdoing in 1995 and again in 2005. The Diocese reopened the investigation in 2/2008.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
