At least one survivor has come forward alleging child sexual abuse by Fr. Michael M. Roebert, from approximately 1969 to 1970, while he worked at St. Joseph’s in Pomona. Fr. Roebert was named in a 2003 child sexual abuse lawsuit. In 2004, the Archdiocese investigated the allegations of child sexual abuse and found them to be unsubstantiated. Fr. Roebert was included in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ list of priests accused of sexual misconduct involving minors. It is believed Fr. Roebert is still in active ministry at St. Lucy in Long Beach, CA and it is unknown whether he has access to minors.
