Fr. Michael W. Dziob
Monsignor. Died in 2012. Named publicly as accused in the 3/4/2026 RI Attorney General’s Report. In 6/2020 the Diocese received a report that Diob sexually abused a 9-year-old boy, beginning when the boy was in 4th grade at St. Leo the Great School in Pawtucket. The boy had a disability and used crutches, and his mother had recently died. The abuse allegedly occurred over 100 times in Dziob’s office, where the boy was often sent for discipline. It ended when Dziob retired, at the end of the boy’s 5th-grade year.

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.
