The Diocese of Alexandria released on Friday the name of one additional clergy against whom there have been credible allegations of sexual abuse of minors.

Fr. Theodore Lelieveld

• An allegation of sexual misconduct and abuse of male minors dating back to the mid-1960s was reported to the Diocese of Alexandria in August 2019.

• Fr. Lelieveld died on October 21, 1976, at the age of 50.

• The evidence was presented to the Permanent Review Board in August 2019 and the allegations were deemed credible.

The Diocese of Alexandria pledges to provide updates to the list of credibly accused clergy as new information becomes available and as reported by authorities. We hope these updates show our commitment to transparency and accountability.

The individual added to the list has been deceased 43 years and the allegations were brought to our attention only recently. The entire list, including any updates will always be available on the diocesan website
