Multiple survivors have come forward alleging child sexual abuse by Fr. Gregory Ingels from approximately 1972 to 1977, while he worked at Marin Catholic High School. The Archbishop of San Francisco was made aware of the allegations against Fr. Ingels in 1996, but Fr. Ingels was allowed to remain active in the ministry until 2002, when he was placed on leave. In 2002, Fr. Ingels was removed from public ministry but the Archbishop still allowed him to work as a canon lawyer. In 2003, Fr. Ingels was criminally charged with child sexual abuse. However, the charges were dropped later that year due to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that changed the law surrounding statutes of limitation. Fr. Ingels has been named in at least one civil lawsuit. Fr. Ingels’ status as a priest, current whereabouts, and whether he has access to children are unknown.
