From China. Charged 6/2012 with fondling a teen girl and victim tampering. Removed. The girl’s family filed suit in 7/2013 v the Archdiocese and Archbishop. Per the suit, Jiang left the family a $20K check after admitting abuse and Archbishop Carlson attempted evidence tampering. Charges were dropped 11/21/2013. Jiang was arrested 4/17/2014, charged with sodomy of a boy at Cathedral school in 2011 and 2012. Pleaded not guilty 6/2/2014. Charges were dropped in 6/2015. Jiang sued the police, city, boy’s parents and SNAP for defamation and conspiracy to deprive him of civil rights due to race and religion. Judge sanctioned SNAP in 8/2016 for resisting a discovery order, and ordered them to pay the priest’s legal fees. Re the 7/2013 suit, a jury ruled in favor of the Archdiocese and Jiang in 4/2017. Jiang was to undergo a “process for return to active ministry.” The alleged victim requested a new trial in 5/2017; it was denied. Judge ordered her to pay the Archdiocese and Jiang’s legal expenses. A lawsuit v SNAP settled in 11/2017. Jiang was assigned in 5/2018 to St. Gabriel’s. Rescinded after parents of the parish school objected. He was to remain at the Cathedral. In 8/2022 a judge ruled that Jiang could have his 2014 arrest record expunged. He was working to also have his 2013 arrest record expunged. Jiang was reportedly studying in Rome in 2022.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
