Dozens of Northern California Catholic priests and church employees – some still working, others retired or deceased – are being publicly accused for the first time of sexually abusing children in their care.
Before Staley’s lawsuit, it appears there is no available record of previous accusations against the priest.2019 law
“There are so many priests that have been accused that are not on the [church’s] list of credibly accused priests, and that’s not surprising to me,” Lucas said. “Routinely there’s been a pattern and practice and long history of the Catholic Church not only sweeping these accusations under the rug but engaging in corrupt cover-ups time and time again.”
But for potential victims, Simons said, the cases represent something more powerful than financial gain. “Many new names are coming out,” McNevin said. “I think that the dam was broken in the 2003 [lookback window], but a lot of people back then weren’t ready. So, we’re seeing cases that are from the sixties and seventies and eighties, but we’re also beginning to see cases from the nineties and from the 2000s. So, I think people are finally finding the strength to speak their truth.”
“The most recent accusations to which you are referring are unsubstantiated allegations which now are in the earliest stages of litigation,” a spokesperson for the San Francisco Archdiocese said in a written statement. “Moreover, the Archdiocese does not and will not comment on any possible pending litigation, particularly when the claims are, on average, over 50 years old.”
It’s likely the list of priests and church officials accused for the first time will only get longer in the months to come, with attorneys expecting a flurry of new filings before the window closes in December.A slew of Catholic school employees, such as teachers, coaches, and janitors also face new allegations.
