Fr. Donald J. Mills
Per a motion filed by the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office in 10/2011, Mills was accused in 2005 of sexually assaulting a minor in 1982. Rumors of “troubling conduct” existed as early as 1996, when one priest was penalized for raising objections when Mills was transferred to his parish. Mills was placed on health leave in 1999 and died in 2006. The priest from the 1996 complaint testified in the 2012 trial of Msgr. Lynn about how complaints were ignored.

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.
