Database
of Publicly Accused Priests
in the United States
According to the John
Jay report commissioned by the U.S. bishops, allegations of sexual
abuse were made in 1950-2002 against 4,392 priests. The number is
generally believed to underestimate the problem. A few bishops have
released the names of accused priests, but no official list exists
of U.S. priests who have abused children and vulnerable adults. Below
we present the most complete list currently available, culled from
media reports and legal documents – with many photos, assignment
records, and source articles.

The Database of Publicly Accused Priests 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.
