Report of Clergy Childhood Sex Abuse in Kansas

On January 6, 2023, the Kansas Bureau of Investigations (KBI), in response to a 2018 request by the Kansas Attorney General, issued a Summary Report of KBI’s “Catholic Clergy Task Force on Catholic Clergy Abuse of Children.” The 21 page Summary Report covered a period of more than 70 years – from 1950 to 2022 – and included investigations of clergy childhood sexual abuse in the 4 dioceses in Kansas plus a nontraditional, breakaway group of priests known as the “Society of St. Pius X.” (The investigation concerning the Society of St. Pius is continuing.) The” Highlights” section of the Summary Report includes the following:

  • Total Number of Victims Identified: 400+
  • Total Number of Victims Interviewed: 137
  • Total Number of Clergy Investigated: 188
  • Number of Criminal Cases Opened: 125
  • Number of Criminal Referrals: 30

Whether a criminal referral will result in a criminal prosecution is made by the local prosecutor and depends upon the facts and evidence of each case and the applicable statute of limitations. The full report is 229 pages and includes the details of the investigation.
