Jeff Anderson & Associates Child Sexual Abuse in the
Archdiocese and Dioceses in Illinois
The Anderson Report on Child Sexual Abuse in the Archdiocese and Dioceses in Illinois is intended
to be a chronology and analysis of the sexual abuse of children in Catholic institutions within the
State of Illinois, including a discussion of how the highest Diocesan and Religious officials enabled
the abusers and covered up crimes of sexual misconduct and abuse.
The data reveal the horrifying scale of priests sexually assaulting minors to the present day. The
data collected illustrate the patterns and practices of Diocesan and Religious officials, including
orchestrating an institutional cover-up of enormous magnitude. Perhaps most shocking among
Jeff Anderson Stacey Benson Molly Burke Mike Finnegan Trusha Patel Goffe the discoveries is that some perpetrators were intentionally transferred and retained in trusted
positions with direct access to children even after they were known to sexually abuse children.
Modern means of analysis and availability of data through the Internet, social media, and public
information is exposing perpetrators who operated in these Dioceses, but until full transparency
and accountability exist, children remain in grave danger.
Historically, the Archdiocese and Dioceses in Illinois, like many other archdioceses and dioceses,
knew of predator priests who posed a significant danger to children. The sexual abuse of children
has long been a crime in Illinois. However, Diocesan and Religious Order officials chose and
continue to keep these crimes hidden, allowing their priests continued and unfettered access to
children. During the 1980s and 1990s, occasional bits of information about abuse within Catholic
Elin Lindstrom Josh Peck Mike Reck Taylor Stippel institutions surfaced, but the Catholic Church’s strict policy of secrecy kept important information
and the full extent of the problem hidden from the public. This has continued despite mandated
reporting laws.

Religious Clergy and Lay Persons in Illinois

There are two types of clergy identified in The Anderson Report on Child Sexual Abuse in the
Archdiocese and Dioceses in Illinois. Diocesan clergy work in territorial divisions or “Dioceses”
and answer to a bishop who is granted authority by the Pope. Religious clergy are professed
members of Orders. They are not tied to geographical areas and instead receive faculties from
the bishop in the territory in which they work. Also included in the Anderson Report are lay
persons who worked in Catholic institutions. These lay persons include seminarians, teachers
and coaches.

2018 Preliminary Findings of the
Investigation into Catholic Clergy
Sexual Abuse of Minors in Illinois
In 2018, the State of Illinois Office of the Attorney General released preliminary findings of its
investigation into Catholic Clergy sexual abuse. During the first 4 months of the investigation,
the Office of Attorney General found:
• The scope of the problem of clergy sexual abuse of minors in Illinois is significantly
more extensive than the Illinois Dioceses have reported;
• Illinois Dioceses disregarded survivors and failed to investigate allegations of clergy

sexual abuse;
• Increased transparency is necessary for accountability and healing;
• The processes and practices put in place by the Illinois Dioceses to respond to clergy
sexual abuse are flawed;
• The investigatory processes deployed by the Illinois Dioceses fail to prioritize the
survivor and provide healing; and
• Illinois Dioceses will not resolve the clergy sexual abuse crisis on their own.
The Office of Attorney General’s review determined that the Illinois Dioceses had received
allegations related to sexual abuse for approximately 690 clergy, but had only publicly identified
185 clergy as being “credibly” accused of sexual abuse.
Jeff Anderson & Associates believes that there are likely hundreds of alleged perpetrators within
the Dioceses and religious orders in Illinois whose names have never been made public.
The fight for information and the names of those alleged perpetrators continues.
The Danger of Sexual Abuse in the

Catholic Church of Illinois Today
The danger of sexual abuse in Illinois is clearly a problem of today, not just the past. This will
continue to be a danger until the identities and histories of sexually abusive clerics, religious
employees and seminarians are made public.
