The Diocese of Boston has for the first time confirmed that several priests with records of sexual abuse complaints were transferred to the United States.

For the first time, the Boston Archdiocese has confirmed that some abusive priests with ties to Ireland worked in Boston. An Irish government report last year outlined rampant clergy sex abuse in Ireland, but the Boston Archdiocese has never before acknowledged that any of those priests worked here.

The Archdiocese released a statement Tuesday saying that three accused priests from Ireland did, at one time, work in the Boston Archdiocese. The Archdiocese said it was unaware of any abuse accusations against the three men either before or while they worked in Boston.
