The alleged abuse was reported to the prosecutor’s office. Pariona was allowed to continue active ministry. The case was closed in July 2017, reopened, then again closed in November 2017. Archbishop Salvador Piñeiro García Calderón issued a statement defending the priest. In May 2018 a former seminarian stated that he had lied to the prosecutor's office to cover for Pariona, after Pariona offered him a better paying job and housing for his cooperation. The former seminarian said he knew about the sexual assault of the girl by Pariona, and that Pariona sexually harassed him after his testimony. In April 2018 he filed a complaint against Pariona with the National Superintendency of Labor Inspection. Pariona was acquitted in 2019 in the case of the abuse of the girl. In November 2020, the Ayacucho Superior Court annulled Pariona's acquittal and ordered a new trial to be conducted by a different panel of judges ("ordenó un nuevo juicio oral a cargo de otro colegiado").  Eighteen months later, it appears that the new trial still hadn't started; in a May 2022 article, Diario Correa reported that Pariona's acquittal had been overturned due to serious irregularities ("serias irregularidades") in the first trial and that he would be tried again. The victim's lawyer said that judges in both the first and second instances had refused to consider the testimony by the victim in the Gesell chamber. In August 2026 the Archdiocese posted a birthday greeting to Pariona on Facebook, stating "today, August 17th, we greet our brother and ask the Lord to grant him health, wisdom, and much joy to continue guiding his community with love.

Allegedly would invite altar boys to a lake house, wrestle with them in the water, sometimes groping them. A second former altar boy came forward after Perrone's removal alleging the priest rubbed his genitals in 1981. Case sent to the Vatican; declined to pursue. Perrone was a co-founder in 2002 of Opus Bono Sacerdotii, a group formed to support priests accused of abuse.

The Archdiocese received two allegations of abuse by Perzan in Philadelphia at St. Gabriel's Hall for delinquent boys: one allegation in 2004 about abuse in 1991, and another allegation in 2005 about abuse in 1994-1995. The first alleged abuse in Philadelphia occurred during a time when Perzan is not indexed in the Official Catholic Directory, and the second alleged abuse in Philadelphia occurred when he was listed in the Directory as assigned to a parish in New Mexico. What's more, the report refers to a 1998 letter from a pastor, complaining about Perzan's behavior with children. The Directory does not list Perzan at the parish in question, but at a different parish. At the beginning of his career, Perzan had three one-year parish assignments, and his move to New Mexico coincides with a slight change in the Directory's spelling of his name. In 2003, with the first grand jury in session, Perzan started a two-year parish assignment in Puerto Rico. This is an extremely unusual Directory record and would be consistent with problems earlier and more numerous than those chronicled in the 2011 grand jury report. Yet the review board deemed the two known allegations unsubstantiated, and Perzan was still in ministry as of 2/12/2011.

Named publicly as credibly accused by the Archdiocese on its list 11/30/2018, which notes reports received in 1993 and 2010 of abuse in 1967.  In 1993 Peschel denied the allegation; in 2010 he admitted to it. He retired and was removed in 2010. Per the NE Attorney General's report in 11/2021, Peschel sexually abused a girl over several years, beginning when she was age 17 in the late 1960s. She informed a Texas diocese in 1992, and the Omaha archdiocese in 1993 and in 2010. He appears to have been kept in ministry until the report and his admission of the abuse in 2010. The Archdiocesan Review Board deemed the allegations credible.

He said the abuse first occurred on a boat ride for altar boys on the Niagara River, with another man present. The man said Peter also abused him after mass when the priest insisted they take a shower together, and that the pastor knew and did nothing. He also alleged that Peter threatened to harm his brother if he told. Peter's accuser said Bishop Grosz told him his complaint wasn't valid, that he was the only person to complain, and "Let's be real: he's dead, he can't defend himself." Lawsuit filed 8/2019.

The complaint states that she abused the girl by "hugging her; kissing her; massaging her; caressing her; and caressing and touching her breasts and genitals; stroked her thighs, reaching up her uniform and with her hand tried to masturbate her on multiple occasions."

Two brothers and their sister also joined the suit, alleging abuse by Peterson in the 1970s. The suit was dismissed in 3/2000 due to the statute of limitations. In Fall 1999 the Harris County Grand Jury refused to indict Peterson on a charge that he sexually abused the original boy; the boy died at age 30 in 2003 of a drug overdose. Accused in a 2005 lawsuit of abusing and raping a 7th grade boy in 1983. Peterson was laicized in 2005; allowed to live at a priests' retirement home. Died 7/12/2007.
