The Diocese of Fall River released the names of 75 credibly or publicly accused of sexually abusing a minor Thursday after a long review of internal records.
Some of the records and accusations date back 70 years, with most cases involving conduct that happened between the 1960s and 1980, according to a release from the diocese.
“We did it for the victims, the survivors to bring a sense of justice and healing for them,” said Bishop Edgar da Cunha.
Cunha had been criticized in the past for not releasing the list sooner.
