LOUISVILLE (KY)

Catholic Church leaders in Louisville released a report on Friday listing 48 priests and members of religious orders credibly accused of sexual abuse.
The report released by the Archdiocese of Louisville was prepared by an independent reviewer who examined archdiocese files involving the sexual abuse of minors by diocesan priests. It marks the first time Louisville’s archdiocese has published such a list from its files.
That 48 includes 22 archdiocese priests with substantiated abuse allegations, 14 priests and others who are members of various religious orders such as Franciscan Friars, and 12 priests with allegations considered credible but which there wasn’t enough information to fully investigate or confirm the report.
