Summary of Case: A Jesuit priest ordained in 1958, Cullen’s ministry took him to the dioceses of Albany, Dallas, Pittsburgh, New York, Baltimore, Wheeling-Charleston, Charlotte, and Allentown. He was a high school guidance counselor and teacher of religion, English, and psychology. In testimony before the Maryland legislature in 2007, a woman stated that Cullen sexually abused her for years in the 1960s, when she was in elementary school. She said her mother reported the abuse to the Jesuits repeatedly, beginning in the late 1960s, but that no action was taken. The woman testified, too, that she was “not the only one” abused by Cullen. Cullen died in February 2005.
