Scandals involving sexual abuse by priests have rocked the Catholic Church over the past several decades. Catholic Church sexual abuse settlements in the U.S. have exceeded $5 billion over the last 20 years.
Tragically, sexual abuse by Church clergy in Louisiana includes claims against priests in the Diocese of Lafayette. At least 39 priests have been credibly accused of sexual abuse within the Diocese of Lafayette. This number includes priests incardinated into the Diocese and extern priests or members of religious orders who served in the Diocese.
Regrettably, the list will most likely grow, and we will add new perpetrators when they are credibly accused.
