LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – The Catholic Diocese of Lexington has released a list of priests accused of sexual abuse of minors.

The list was released Friday, a day after the diocese received it, and was compiled by attorneys who had unlimited access to the diocese’s priest personnel files and the files of any reports of abuse made to the diocese.

The review team also conducted interviews, talked with the diocesan Victims’ Assistance Coordinator, and met with the Diocesan Review Board.

“I, along with every priest in the Diocese of Lexington, am very sorry for what this report describes and apologize to every person who has ever been abused or injured in any way by one who was ordained to represent Christ,” wrote Lexington Bishop John Stowe in a letter accompanying the report.
