Two abuse survivors and the law firms of Jeff Anderson & Associates and LaFave, Wein & Frament, PLLC release report containing identities, histories, photographs, and information on 83 clerics accused of child sexual abuse in the Diocese of Albany.
This press conference highlights the release of a report identifying 83 clerics accused of child sexual abuse in the Diocese of Albany, including assignment histories, photographs, and information compiled from public sources. Speakers explain that the report was created to shed more light on risks that were not fully disclosed by church officials and to help communities better understand where accused offenders served. The event also emphasizes that the list released by the Diocese of Albany was incomplete and that additional names, including members of religious orders, must be brought forward so survivors can be heard and children can be better protected.
Survivors who spoke publicly described why transparency, accountability, and action remain so important. Their remarks focused on protecting children, encouraging other survivors to come forward, and making sure institutions are held responsible when secrecy allows harm to continue. Jeff Anderson & Associates and affiliated counsel stand with survivors in seeking fuller disclosure of abuse histories, stronger protections for families, and a path toward truth, healing, and justice through both public awareness and legal action.
