Diocese names priests, sisters, staff accused of sexual abuse

HELENA -- The Diocese of Helena posted an online list Wednesday of every employee accused of sexually abusing a minor while working there.
The list includes priests and nuns who once worked in Butte, Anaconda, Deer Lodge, Philipsburg, Drummond and Whitehall, among other towns.  The list dates back to the 1930s and includes the names of 80 priests, Ursuline Sisters, lay workers and others. A settlement between the Diocese and hundreds of victims requires that the names be posted and remain pinned to the Diocese homepage for the next decade.
