Fr. John R. Meredith
Meredith was placed on medical leave in early 12/2013 before being removed later in the month for credible accusations of inappropriate conduct with a minor. Police decided 1/16/2014 that alleged his conduct was not a criminal offense. Also, the case was closed because the minor was now an adult and did not want to be interviewed by the police. The incident may have involved a violation of church policy. Was to remain a priest, still on leave. Included in the 4/12/2019 Owensboro diocesan list of priests with substantiated allegations: ‘one allegation deemed substantiated by the Diocesan Review Board.’

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.
