Seattle archdiocese posts list of 77 accused of child sex abuse
The Archdiocese of Seattle on Friday published a list of clergy and others accused of sexually assaulting children while serving or living in Western Washington.
The 77 individuals whose names were published on the archdiocese website “have allegations that are either admitted, established or determined to be credible,” the archdiocese wrote in a news release.
Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain apologized for the abuse.
“I express my deepest apologies for the actions of those who were in positions of trust and who violated that sacred trust by abusing the vulnerable in their care,” Sartain said.
Included in the list of names are clergy and religious officials who served or lived in Western Washington between 1923 and 2008. Among them are 30 archdiocesan priests (ordained into the service of a particular diocese or archdiocese) and 16 priests belonging to religious orders, 14 religious brothers, one nun, two deacons and 14 priests from other dioceses, the archdiocese wrote in the news release.
