Fr. George J. Rosenkranz
Name sometimes spelled Rosenkrantz. Sued in 2000 for abuse in the 1970s. Other suits filed in 3/02 and 1/03. Suits claim the Archdiocese knew of his history as far back as the 1960s but did nothing except transfer him. Placed on leave in 1989 because of multiple allegations of the abuse of minors. Name on the 3/5/03 Boston Globe list of 48 priests dropped from the 2003 clergy directory because they had been suspended from ministry after facing abuse allegations. Involuntary laicization announced in 2/07. Included in 8/11 on the Archdiocese’s list.

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.
