Catholic Bishop Anthony Taylor today revealed cases of “credible allegations” of sexual abuse by priests in the Diocese of Little Rock, cases involving 12 priests dating back many years, all before the time of the current bishop. Eight are dead
The statement was issued as an outgrowth of recent disclosures in other dioceses in the U.S. and provides more specifics on cases, which, Taylor noted, a previous bishop had referred to generally in a disclosure in 2004. The bishop acknowledges payments have been made to victims and says a full report will eventually be made on the amounts paid.
None of those named work in the priesthood today.
