Foley was accused in 1999 of sexually abusing an altar boy (Accuser #1) on one occasion at Holy Name parish and sent for assessment and treatment at Southdown. Foley denied the allegation but was restricted from parish and youth ministry. In 2002, he was accused of criminally abusing many boys at Holy Name, in a letter an informant sent to a local newspaper, which passed the allegation to the archdiocese. In 2011, Foley was accused of repeated sexual abuse of an altar boy (Accuser #2) at Holy Name, from 1984 or 1985 to 1996, beginning at age 11 or 12. Accuser #1 came forward anonymously in 2002. Accuser #2 came forward anonymously in 2012. Below we provide an illustrated assignment record of Foley, who worked in the Boston and Santa Fe archdioceses. Then we offer links to articles about Foley, and an extensive collection of relevant documents.
