USA Northeast Province Jesuits with Credible Allegations of Sexual Abuse of a Minor

Jesuits included on this list have one or more credible allegations of abuse of a minor (any person under the age of 18). These Jesuits are living, deceased, or former members with credible
allegations after 1950.

The USA Northeast Province was formed in 2014 and includes the members of the former Buffalo (1960s), New England, and New York Provinces. The Northeast Province includes the states of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and northern New Jersey.

An allegation is deemed “credible” if there is a preponderance of evidence that the allegation is more likely true than not after investigation. Credibility can also be established by conviction in a court or
by the admission of the truth of the allegation by the Jesuit.

Many Jesuits on this list have not been found guilty of a crime or liable for any civil claim. Many accusations were made decades after the abuse allegedly took place, and often after the accused
Jesuit had died. Jesuits with allegations currently under investigation are not included on this list.

Listed below each Jesuit’s name are any external apostolic assignments he had and the dates of those assignments.
