Priests with an Accusation of the Sexual Abuse of a Minor
archlou.org/priests-with-an-accusation-of-the-sexual-abuse-of-a-minor/
In late 2018, the Archdiocese of Louisville Sexual Abuse Review Board requested a careful review by an independent investigator of records involving sexual abuse of minors by diocesan priests with a report of the findings. The investigator is Mr. Mark Miller, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, former First Assistant Jefferson County Commonwealth Attorney, and former Commissioner of the Kentucky State Police. He presented his report to the Sexual Abuse Review Board on February 8, 2019.
This report includes a list of credibly accused diocesan priests. In addition to Mr. Miller’s report, the Archdiocese also reviewed the records of credibly accused religious order priests. Because the personnel records for these priests are maintained by the religious order, there was only limited information for review, and so religious order priests are not included in Mr. Miller’s report. Many religious orders have published a list or are in the process of doing so, and so a web page is provided for each religious order involved.
