ABUSE OCCURRED AT EIGHTY-ONE PERCENT OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF SAN FRANCISCO'S PARISHES
- On May 21, 2025, the survivors' committee published data outlining abuse allegations submitted in the bankruptcy case involving the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco, which filed for bankruptcy in 2023.
- The bankruptcy halted individual state court cases and suppressed survivors from sharing their stories, while the Archdiocese opposed the data release.
- The Claims Data showed abuse in 81% of parishes, involved 68 repeat-named perpetrators, and included over 320 rape allegations against survivors as young as two years old.
- Margie O'Driscoll emphasized that the reported figures represent only a fraction of the true scope of the abuse, noting many victims remain silent due to feelings of shame, fear of consequences, and concerns about their careers.
- The data suggests widespread, systemic abuse with unseen victims, as Judge Montali and counsel Brittany Michael emphasized that survivors' experiences transcend mere statistics.
