Fr. Patrick Joseph Ryan
Name appears on list of priests with credible allegations of abuse of minors released by the Archdiocese 12/5/13. Accused in 2002 of sexually abusing a minor in 1961. The Archdiocese qualified Ryan’s inclusion on the list by saying that a subsequent extensive and wide-ranging investigation took place, and that no evidence was found to validate the accusation of sexual abuse. Ryan died in 1965.

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.
