As dioceses around the country are disclosing names of priests accused of misconduct, a law firm on Tuesday released a report containing the names of 263 Catholic Clergy members accused of sexual misconduct in the Bay Area.
The report, compiled by lawyers from Jeff Anderson and Associates based in St. Paul, Minn., accuses 135 offenders from the Archdiocese of San Francisco, 95 from the Diocese of Oakland and 33 from the Diocese of San Jose.
The lawyers are seeking to compel Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, Bishop Patrick McGrath and Bishop Michael Barber to release the names of all clergy accused of sexual misconduct in all three dioceses and request the federal court to release files that show the participation and complicity of top church officials in the handling of clergy sexual abuse cases.
