A lawyer serving as an advocate for victims has released the names of 13 priests in the Diocese of Buffalo who were accused of sexual abuse.

“The secrecy breeds shame and shame means those survivors are held back from healing,” Attorney Mike Reck said. “That holds them back from the accountability and the acknowledgment they need and they deserve.”

The priests of accused of abuse are the following:

Fr. John R. Aurelio
Fr. David W. Bialkowski
Fr. Robert J. Biesinger
Fr. James H. Cotter
Fr. Joseph P. Friel
Fr. Fred D. Ingalls
Fr. Gerald C. Jasinski
Fr. Timothy J. Kelley
Fr. Bernard M. Mach
Fr. Loville N. Martlock
Fr. Norbert Orsolits
Fr. James A. Spielman
Fr. William F. White
