Fr. Carl D. Tresler

Ordained: 1991
Status: Accused

Diocese: Archdiocese of Los Angeles CA

Ordained in 1991 for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, CA. Removed from ministry in 1998 due to an allegation that he sexually abused a boy. Tresler moved to Huancavelica, Peru; LA’s Cardinal Mahony initially allowed Tresler ministry in Peru, but later told Huancavelica’s then-bishop William Molloy that Tresler should not serve as a priest. Tresler was named in the 2004 Los Angeles Archdiocesan Report. He reportedly remained active in Peru in 3/2005.

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.
