Archdiocese: New Allegations Of Abuse Against Dead Priest
St. Paul, Minnesota --
The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis reported that the most recent annual survey by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops revealed new allegations of child sex abuse against one additional priest.
The allegations surfaced as 18 new victims came forward to the archdiocese in the 14 months ending in August. The archdiocese said the additional priest who was identified recently died in 1971 and the alleged abuse occurred 40 years ago.
Archdiocese spokesman Dennis McGrath said the archdiocese does not identify alleged perpetrators who are dead. "We will identify perpetrators who are still in active ministry, if anyone comes forward," he said.
That's not good enough for a local victims support group, which wants any alleged perpetrator to be publicly identified, along with that priest's work history.
