Church validates sex allegations: Maine diocese releases names of 9 dead priests
Portland, Maine -
Maine’s Roman Catholic diocese Sunday validated child sexual abuse allegations against nine of 21 dead priests, saying they likely would be removed from ministry under today’s standards if they were still alive.
The announcement came more than a month after the state attorney general released the names of the 21 in compliance with an order from the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.
The Diocese of Portland, which had opposed the release of the names, said its reversal reflected the reality of the court decision and "the inevitable news stories" arising from the public release of more than 100 pages of documents related to abuse complaints.
