LA Diocese Abuse Report 2008 (Part 3)
OCTOBER 2008
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles remains in full compliance wilh Ihe U.S. Bishops' 2002 Charter for the
Protection of Children and Young People. Reports of suspected abuse are reported to Ihe proper civil
aulhorities; Ihe lay-led Clergy Misconduct Oversight Board reviews all complaints of misconduct by clergy;
and, adults and children throughout Ihe Archdiocese continue to be trained in abuse prevention and awareness
techniques. These efforts have led to a dramatic decline in reports of sexual misconduct by clergy and
employees in the Archdiocese.
The following lis! includes names of clergy from a follow up review of Archdiocesan files, and names of
clergy involved in Clergy 1 litigation which were not previously posted. The final portion oflhe global
settlement ofclergy cases has been concluded. Consequently, further updates to Ihe Report to Ihe People ofGod
are not anticipated.
