Fr. Martin O’Loghlen
From Ireland, where he was ordained. Accused of the sexual abuse of a minor 1965-1968, per the 2004 Los Angeles Archdiocesan Report. Active in Myanmar and the Philippines in 2004. Kept in ministry until his removal in 2011 from Holy Name of Mary in San Dimas, where he had been assigned for two years. The Archdiocese admitted it “did not fully consult records” that showed he had admitted to a sexual ‘relationship’ with a high school girl in the 1960s. The vicar of clergy in charge of checking records resigned. His victim settled the civil suit with the order and O’Loghlen in 1999 for $100K. Said in 10/2024 by a parishioner to have been actively involved for the past decade at Holy Name of Mary; pictured there in a 1/2020 photo on the parish’s facebook page.

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.
