The Youngstown Catholic Diocese has released more details about priests and clergy members accused of sexual abuse.
Cleveland 19 looked at the list of parishes these priests and clergy members served at while here in Northeast Ohio. There are 31 accused abusers in churches from Massillon to Youngstown. We found eight churches and one high school in Canton, three parishes in Massillon, three in Ashtabula and two each in Alliance, Conneaut and Louisville.
The list included parishes in several other cities like Kent, Ravenna and Rootstown.
A number of the parishes have or had schools affiliated with the church.
So far, police have investigated 76 credible cases where victims have come forward.
The Bishop of the Youngstown Diocese says many of the victims didn’t want to press charges against their alleged abusers. They just want them out of the church so they can’t hurt anyone else.
Here’s a complete list of the accused, and the parishes they worked at:
