The Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg released an updated list Monday documenting clergy and seminarians accused of sexual abuse of a child, revealing 30 priests served at Susquehanna Valley parishes.

A previous examination by The Daily Item revealed 17 of the priests served in the region.

The updated list includes assignments for all of the accused, something the diocese hadn’t released in the days after its initial report released last week. The assignments are key to showing local connections because some of the accused served as far back as 1926.
