LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – The Catholic Diocese of Little Rock says it has
received 26 more allegations of clergy abuse one month after the diocese
released a list of clergy members who have had credible allegations against them
of sexually abusing minors.The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports Bishop Anthony B. Taylor announced the additional complaints in a letter to church members Tuesday. The diocese released a preliminary list in September that identified 12 priests accused of abuse who served in Arkansas.

Taylor wrote that most of the recent allegations were made against priests
already listed in last month’s report. He says that none of the allegations were
against “priests who are currently in active ministry in Arkansas.”

Taylor added the new reports concern events that occurred before 2002.
