Scranton Diocese Sexual Abuse

Fund for Abuse Survivors Announced:  On November 8, 2018, the Diocese of Scranton announced a “reparation” program to compensate survivors of child sexual abuse.  The deadline for filing a claim may be short.  If you or someone you love was abused by someone within the Diocese of Scranton, please contact us for a free, confidential consultation to learn your options.

Over 50 priests within the Diocese of Scranton have been the subject of allegations of childhood sexual abuse, although many of the allegations were not investigated because of Pennsylvania’s outdated statute of limitations for abuse survivors.

The following list of priests who have faced abuse allegations was compiled from different sources, including news reports. Please know some of the allegations are disputed by the individuals listed below. Where possible we have provided a summary of the allegations and a list of the individual’s known assignments.

By default the list below is sorted by the priest’s last name. You can also sort the list by first name.

Please know the list is not intended to be exhaustive — there are likely priests and others in the Diocese of Scranton who abused children but who are not listed below.

If you or someone you love was sexually abused by a priest within the Diocese of Albany, please contact us for a free, confidential consultation to learn your legal options.
