Credibly Accused Clergy

Appendix A contains summaries of 72 clergy determined by the Attorney General to have been credibly accused of child sexual misconduct in the Diocese of Providence, based on the totality of information in this Office’s possession. In deciding whether to include an accused individual in this Appendix, the Attorney General relied on records voluntarily produced by the Diocese of Providence to the Office of Attorney General pursuant to the July 2019 MOU (see Appendix D), as well as law enforcement records, records of criminal and civil proceedings, victim and witness interviews, and publicly available information.

Each summary describes, to the extent this information was available, the subject priest or deacon’s assignment history, the known child sexual misconduct allegations against him, and the Diocese’s responses to those allegations. To ensure and maintain survivors’ privacy, their names have been omitted, except for survivors who expressly agreed to the inclusion of their names here and elsewhere in the Report. To read each individual's full summary, download Appendix A here.

Importantly, unless otherwise noted, the details in this Appendix are only allegations, not facts proven in a courtroom or otherwise admitted by the accused individuals, and so the named subjects in this Appendix (and as referenced throughout the Report) are generally entitled to a presumption of innocence. At the same time, that a member of the clergy is not included in this Appendix should not necessarily be taken as an indication that the Attorney General deemed allegations against him or her to be untrue; it simply means that, as of the time of the publication of this Report, there was insufficient information in this Office’s possession to deem that individual credibly accused of child sexual misconduct, as defined herein.

Finally, four criminal prosecutions resulted from this Investigation. One defendant, Father Edward Kelley, died while his case was pending, and so he is included here. Because the remaining three individuals are still awaiting trial, this Appendix does not contain summaries of the allegations against them. They, too, are presumed innocent until they are convicted at trial or plead guilty.
