Fr. Leo Thomas Riley
A man said in 2002 he was abused by Riley over a four-year period in the late 1950s at the Elm Bank Minor Seminary. The alleged victim told the Stigmatine’s head at the time of the abuse; Riley was transferred. When the man brought the matter to the order’s attention again in 2002, they admitted knowledge of the original complaint and said the information was not shared with anyone and was not entered into Riley’s records. Riley died in 1995. Omitted from 2011 Boston AD database.

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.
