Fr. Robert L. Hazel
A woman filed a police report in 2003 stating that Hazel sexually assaulted her in 1986 when she was about 8 years old. The county attorney found insufficient evidence to prosecute and the case was closed in 2004. Hazel denied ever sexually abusing anyone. He retired in 5/2006. His name was included in a MN Public Radio database released 2/19/2014; it was not on the Archdiocese’s list of clergy accused of child sexual abuse in 12/2013, revised 2/17/2014.

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.
