Buffalo Diocese officials, acknowledging a recent “tsunami” of new claims of child sex abuse, said Monday they added 36 priest’s names to a list released in March that identified clergy who had been credibly accused of abuse.
The diocese’s list of credibly accused priests now stands at 78 priests – and includes 16 priests who are members of religious orders, a category the diocese excluded in an original list of 42 priests.
Diocese officials said they counted a total of 176 diocesan and religious order priests against whom child sex abuse allegations were made, but they chose not to identify deceased priests who had a single allegation against them.
