Idaho’s Catholic Church updates list of credibly accused priests

Boise • Catholic Church leaders in Idaho have updated their list of priests the faith says were credibly accused of child sex abuse since the 1950s to include more details about where the clergy served when the alleged abuse occurred.

The known allegations of child sex abuse involve 15 priests and one deacon, and they span the state geographically, including parishes in Boise, Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, Caldwell, McCall, Moscow, Soda Springs, Kamiah, Aberdeen, DeSmet, Wallace, St. Maries and Kellogg.

Most of the clergy served in multiple locations throughout their career. The Boise diocese did not release details about where they previously lived nor, in most cases, about where they went after they left the ministry in Idaho.
