Fr. James J. Toulas
Accused in 1993 of repeatedly sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy in the 1960s-early 1970s. After one occasion at the rectory of Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, the boy told the parish janitor, who told a priest. The priest told the boy that Toulas was gone and it would never happen again. Removed in 1993 after his victim came forward, sent to St. Luke Institute for treatment. Toulas admitted the abuse, which occurred while he was visiting Baltimore during a break from missionary work in Brazil. He died in 2000. His name was included on the Baltimore archdiocese’s list of accused released in 9/2002. Included in the 4/5/2023 MD Attorney General’s Report.

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.
