The Maryland Attorney General released a redacted report on clergy abuse in Maryland on April 5, 2023. The report is entitled “Attorney General’s Report of Child Sex Abuse in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.” It is the result of a Grand Jury investigation that started in 2018 by the Attorney General’s office.
The report details both the history of sexual abuse within the Archdiocese and how the efforts made by the church hierarchy to protect the Archdiocese were above efforts to protect children. Among topics discussed in the 463 page report are grooming, intimidation, threatening and spiritual damnation from trusted religious leaders. Also covered was the Catholic church’s system to evade confrontation and responsibility.
Along with the release of the report, the state of Maryland updated its statute of limitations for victims of child sexual abuse.
The following list includes current or former priests, brothers and nuns who have been sued and/or suspended following allegations of sexual abuse of minors or have claims against them in the state of Maryland. We are actively pursuing cases against Catholic priests and clergy as well as figures from other religious institutions.
Important note: If the name of a priest or other member of clergy you are searching for does not appear in the lists below, it does not mean that you do not have a potential claim against that individual. These lists of credibly accused individuals are always expanding as more information is brought forth to the dioceses and to authorities. Please contact us if you or a loved one has been abused by a priest or other clergy member, regardless of whether they appear in the lists below or not.
