Fr. William H. Morgan
In 1992 the archdiocese received a letter which lead to an internal investigation of Morgan. He admitted to abusing his two young nephews. Sent for a psychiatric evaluation. Resigned from his position as a parish pastor in 1993, per recommendation of the Archdiocesan Review Board. The 1995 Catholic Directory shows Morgan to be ‘retired.’ He died in 1999. One nephew filed suit in 2/01 claiming Morgan sexually abused him from ages 3-12, about 35 year prior. The lawsuit was dismissed in 10/01. Per the 8/11 Boston archdiocese list, criminal or canonical proceedings were not complete when Morgan died.

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.
