About 30 other dioceses are investigating or have promised to release names of credibly accused priests in the coming months.

New Jersey Catholic List Names of Nearly 200 Priests Accused of Abuse
Roman Catholic bishops in New Jersey on Wednesday named nearly 200 priests who have been found credibly accused of sexually abusing a child. The disclosure is just the latest reported in recent weeks by dioceses and religious orders across the country as law enforcement officials examine the church’s response to an epidemic of abuse.
As with many of the other lists published, most of the priests identified by the New Jersey bishops are dead, and the accusations involve alleged abuse that happened decades ago.
The list of names included Theodore McCarrick, the former cardinal who stands to be one of the highest-profile Catholic figures in modern times to be defrocked, and a parish priest who was the first to be criminally charged as part of the New Jersey attorney general’s investigation into clergy abuse.
The bishops in New Jersey have followed dozens of their colleagues in the United States in deciding to publish the names of suspected abusers after a grand jury report in Pennsylvania last summer outlined seven decades of accusations and inflamed broader tensions in the church over its handling of abuse.

Dispenza accusationMary Dispenza Esfahan (1939-) was 7 when her parish priest, George Rucker, raped her in the auditorium of the Catholic school she attended in East Los Angeles. At the time, her mother, who worked in the parish, was chatting with kitchen workers in the next room. Eventually, Dispenza became a nun and a teacher at her old school, St. Alphonsus, often meeting with students in the auditorium where she remembers being molested. It was 43 years before Dispenza allowed herself to release repressed memories and confront what had happened in that room. Mary Dispenza no longer calls herself a Catholic, no longer attends church and doubts she will be able to reconcile the abuse with her faith. “Everything that I knew, all my identity, was wrapped up in the church in one way or another; I was just lost.... I felt we both lost: The church lost me, and I lost the church. And we both had invested a lot in each other for all those years.” She expected to receive $1.33 million from the 2006 settlement. Falter accusationCindy Falter testified that when Rucker he got to St. Anthony’s, he would walk into a first grade class, pick out a student, take her off into the rectory or even on the altar and rape her often with "giving of Communion wine." A legal brief on George Neville Rucker states that over and over he fondled her on her genitals, under her clothes, massaged her breasts and nipples, licked her, and penetrated her vagina with his penis. Most of us are so fucked up. I think there’s even a couple of Rucker victims that only remotely function. He would scratch crosses in my chest with something like a needle, like a sewing needle.

USA Northeast Province Jesuits with Credible Allegations of Sexual Rape of Minors. 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.
Jesuits release list of priests credibly accused of abuse, including 22 with Mass. ties
The governing body for Jesuit priests in eight Northeastern states released a list Tuesday of 50 clergy who were credibly accused of sexual rape against children dating back to 1950, including 22 who were affiliated with high schools, hospitals, churches, and colleges in Massachusetts.
The list includes 16 Jesuits who worked at Boston College High School in Dorchester, and one priest who ministered in Fall River and Gloucester, but was only stripped of his duties in the last two weeks as officials at the USA Northeast Jesuit Province prepared to publicise his name.
All but five of the Jesuits with Massachusetts ties are listed as deceased. Among the living is James Talbot, who was defrocked in 2013 and jailed last year for sexually assaulting a boy in Freeport, Maine, during the 1990s, according to The Portland Press Herald.
