Br. George Dwyer
Two separate suits were filed by a man against the order and archdiocese. The first suit alleged abuse by Dwyer at Briscoe Memorial School in the 1940s. It settled for a lesser sum when order said Dwyer never worked at the school. The second was filed in 2009 after an archive from Rome showed Dwyer had been expelled from the order in 1947 following an investigation into allegations of sexual abuse. Name included on Seattle archdiocese’s list 1/15/2016 of clergy and religious with admitted, established or credible allegations against them of sexual abuse of a minor. The list showed Dwyer worked at Briscoe Memorial in the 1940s.

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.
