Fr. Eugene Anthony Forbes
Named publicly as accused in the MI Attorney General’s 6/25/2026 Diocese of Saginaw Report. Monsignor. Died 12/6/2003. In 11/2002 a man reported to the Diocese that he was sexually abused by Forbes as a boy in 1976, 1977, and 1978. The Diocesan Review Board deemed the allegations not credible. In 4/2018 a 65-year-old woman reported that she was molested many times by Forbes when she was a junior high school student. In 5/2024 the Diocese informed the MI Attorney General that the woman stated in a legal claim that Forbes molested her 1965-1968 at St. Mary’s Cathedral School. The Review Board determined that there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations.

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.
