Per his obituary, Malloy joined the Franciscans in 1938 and made his solemn vows in 1948. He worked in Southfield MI, Louisville KY, and in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati OH.

Fr. Anthony E. Cutcher
![](https://www.bishop-accountability.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/cutcher_anthony.png)
"Tony." Assigned to St Peter's in Huber Heights when placed on leave in 1/2021 due to an allegation. The Archdiocese did not provide details as to the nature of the allegation or age of the alleged victim. In 4/2021 news media reported that Cutcher had sent inappropriate texts to a minor and local authorities "found no evidence of illegal activity." In 6/2024 Cutcher agreed to a television interview with an investigative reporter. He had been living alone in Piqua OH, working in retail and as a bookkeeper. He had asked the Archdiocese in 2/2024 if he could return to active ministry; he was denied. His removal in 2021 was due to his having sent hundreds of text messages to a 14-year-old boy, who was a student at St. Peter's. The texts included telling the boy he was incredibly handsome, asking about his love life, saying he missed him, that he had had a fun dream about him and saying a restaurant called BJ's made him think of "something else... the second word is 'job'....think below the belt." He also had the boy's teacher send him to his office every day. The day after Cutcher's removal the school principal died by suicide. Cutcher was sent to St. Luke Institute in MD for treatment. He had been sent there also in 2018 after child pornography allegations, found by another priest at Holy Rosary in St. Mary's in 2012. The priest who came forward in 2018 had had a deacon destroy the images, so police had no evidence and the case was closed. Parishioners were not informed.

Fr. Geoffrey Drew
![](https://www.bishop-accountability.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Drew_Geoffrey.png)
St. Ignatius in Green Township pastor since mid-2018 when placed on leave 7/23/2019. Accused of sending inappropriate text messages to at least one boy at the parish school. Had been complaints to church officials about his behavior toward boys at his previous parish in 2013 and 2015. Auxiliary Bishop Binzer knew of the complaints but did not inform Archbishop Schnurr. One parishioner said she wrote Schnurr and Binzer in 8/2018 about "red flags." Drew was was kept in ministry 'under monitoring;' St. Ignatius parish and school leaders were not told of the prior complaints or monitoring. In 8/2019 Binzer was a member of the USCCB committee on child protection. As of 7/2019, Drew was to be sent to treatment. Indicted in 8/2019 on 9 counts of rape of a boy, age 9-11, occurring 1988-1991 while a music teacher at St. Jude's in Green Township. Pleaded not guilty. In jail on $5M bond. Pope Francis accepted Binzer's resignation in Spring 2020. There are reportedly other alleged victims, including a second former St. Jude student who claimed abuse by Drew between 1985 and 1987. In 2005 40 boys at St. Rita's Parish School in Dayton OH complained in a letter to school officials of Drew's touching them (shoulders, faces, whispering in their ears) and asked them to make him stop. No action; the boys were made to apologize to Drew. There were also complaints throughout the 1980s and in the 1990s. Drew pleaded guilty on 12/2/2021, just before trial. Sentenced in a plea bargain to 7 years in prison and required to register for life as a sex offender. The archdiocese stated that it would seek Drew's laicization.
