The Archdiocese of Chicago has released the names of priests and others who it believes have had “at least one substantiated allegation of sexual misconduct with a minor.” Please know that these lists are not complete, and in December 2018 the Illinois Attorney General issued a report claiming the Catholic Church in Illinois has withheld the names of more than 500 priests who have been accused of sexually abusing children. Put simply, if you were sexually abused by a priest or someone associated with the Catholic Church, please do not be alarmed if the person is not on the Archdiocese’s list. We have represented many people who were sexually abused by priests who were not included on the list of a Diocese or Archdiocese, only for the priest’s name to be added to the list at a later date. If you want to learn your legal options, please contact us.
