Six priests with ties to Wyoming and Genesee counties were among 13 priests in the Diocese of Buffalo who were accused of sexually assaulting children.
Jeff Anderson & Associates law firm of Minnesota released the names during a press conference in Buffalo Tuesday morning. The firm has led the way in the fight for the victims of priests and has filed numerous lawsuits seeking compensation and accountability from the Catholic Church.
In all, at least 22 priests who served the Diocese of Buffalo have been named since the 1980s and nearly 100 more have been targets of various lawsuits and complaints.
Tuesday, the names of 13 more were released in an ongoing effort to get the Diocese to identify all the priests who have been accused.
Among those named were five who served in Wyoming or Genesee counties and one who was arrested and charged with sodomizing children at a camp in Wyoming in the 1980s.
