Per diocese, Fleming was not defrocked but his right to minister was revoked. Sent to therapy for two years. Left priesthood in 1986. Diocese did not include him on list of accused priests released in 2/02 because it was thought he had died in 1997. He was, however, alive.

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.
