Fr. Archie H. Adams
First named publicly in a news article in 2/03 as one of four priests against whom documented and substantial allegations of serious abuse had been made. Adams was granted a medical leave and retired status in 1994. The 2002 Catholic Directory continues to list him as on sick leave. By 8/05 he was “no longer in the priesthood” and the diocese did not keep track of him. Included in 7/20 on the diocese’s list of credibly accused, which notes that Adams died in 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.
