The Maryland province of the Society of Jesus has released the names of Jesuits who have been credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors since 1950. They include Jesuits from the province and other Jesuits who have served the province.
Most of the cases "date back decades, with the last known incident of sexual abuse of a minor by a Jesuit of the Maryland province happening in 2002," Jesuit Father Robert M. Hussey, provincial, said in a letter accompanying the release of names.
The province, based in the Baltimore suburb of Towson, released four lists and a total of 29 names. Eight of the Jesuits named are deceased.
