From the retired superintendent of Catholic education in Mississippi to a priest on the lam in Peru, more than three dozen clergy have been named as potential abusers.

According to a list released by Jackson Diocese officials Tuesday, March 19, there have been 35 priests and two religious brothers accused of assault with Mississippi ties. The allegations date back decades, with the most recent allegations coming in the early 2000s.

The diocese has previously stated they turned over a list of accusations and the accused to the state attorney general in 2002. However, according to Margaret Ann Morgan, spokesperson for Attorney General Jim Hood, the AG's office "is not aware and could not locate any documents from 2002."

In a press release provided Tuesday, the diocese stated it "presented all of its cases to the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office in 2002 and again in 2019 in an effort to ensure transparency and a spirit of cooperation."

However, Morgan said the AG's office was not provided a list of cases in 2019 either.
