The Anderson Report: Sexual Abuse in the Archdiocese and Dioceses of New Jersey
This report below contains the names of clergy who were assigned within, worked, or lived in the State of New Jersey and who have been accused of sexual misconduct. The information in this Anderson Report is derived from publicly available sources, claims made by survivors to the dioceses and religious orders responsible for the offenders, and legal settlements made as a result of claims for sexual abuse. The vast majority of the claims against these individuals have not been evaluated in a civil court. Accordingly, the allegations should be considered only allegations and should not be considered proven or substantiated in a court of law. All individuals should be considered innocent until proven guilty. In many situations, the statute of limitations has expired preventing the cases from being heard in a court of law. Download the report.
