At least 271 clergy — a mix of permanent and visiting priests,
pastors, chaplains, deacons, religious order clerics, and nuns — have
been publicly accused of child sex abuse in the Boston archdiocese,
according to a Globe review.
Accusations have led to criminal charges, lawsuits, and reviews by church officials. Priests have been convicted, sentenced to jail, and stripped of their religious duties. In some cases, they’ve been cleared by the courts and the church.
