In total, 67 clergy members and lay persons associated with the Diocese of Erie were mentioned.

Diocese of HarrisburgThe Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg released a list of 71 names of clergy members accused of sexually abusing children on August 1. The diocese added another name days later.
The list includes cases that date back decades. The diocese said the list includes those who were accused of abuse of a child since the 1940s, and does not include assessments of credibility or guilt.
In releasing the names last week, the diocese said it was not making an assessment of guilt. Instead, it says it was releasing a list of everyone with an allegation against them that had not been proven false.
