Summary of Case: Kevin J. Downey was ordained for the Franciscan Friars of the Holy Name Province in 1982. He went on to parish assignments in the dioceses of Buffalo NY, Butler NJ, Raleigh NC, Paterson NJ and Arlington VA. Through much of the 1980s until 1991 he worked in the Springfield IL diocese, at the Franciscan’s Quincy College. In May 2016 the Arlington diocese quietly announced that Downey had been placed on leave, pending the investigation of an allegation of sexual misconduct toward a male minor in 1990, “in another state.” Downey was working at Quincy College during the year in question. At the time of his suspension he was serving as pastor of a Triangle VA parish.
