The boy was in grades 4 and 5 and an altar boy at Queen of All Saints in Concord when the abuse allegedly occurred. The boy kept diaries at the time in which he repeated “God is doing this to me” and “God hates me.” Medical records show he was treated for rectal bleeding at age 11. McCracken died 2/1/2012. Reportedly in 2023, three more people have filed suit with claims they were sexually abused as children by McCracken.

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.
