Worked at schools and parishes in the U.S. and Canada. Associate pastor at San Francisco’s Saints Peter and Paul Parish in 2005 when accused in a lawsuit of child sexual abuse. Danielson denied the allegations. The claims may have been investigated in 2004 by the archdiocesan review board and deemed unsubstantiated, which corroborated the Salesians’ findings that the claims were “unsubstantiated.” Remained an active priest at the same parish per its website accessed 7/11/2011.

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.
