Per his personnel file released in 2/2003, in 1996 a man took 30 letters to the Archdiocese that McQuade had written to his son. The letters included reference to a relationship that began when the boy was 17. The boy was killed in a 1992 auto accident while on his way to McQuade’s home. McQuade denied there was a sexual relationship and the Review Board could not substantiate the allegations. McQuade was assigned to the Archdiocese’s Emergency Response Team and psychotherapy was recommended. He died 9/26/2024.

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.
