Advocates from the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests gathered Tuesday at the doorstep of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Oakland to unveil a list of East Bay priests they say have been accused of sexual abuse, mostly against children.
“The Bishop of Oakland has said he’s committed to accountability, but we never see him at events like this,” said Tim Stier, a former Oakland priest whose long been critical of the how the Diocese has handled the sex abuse scandal. “In order for him to release more names [of accused priests], it’s like pulling teeth.”
Moments later, a black Mercedes pulled up, its driver telling the advocates they weren’t allowed on church property. The unidentified driver said he would deliver SNAP’s letter to the Bishop. NBC Bay Area’s review of those court filings found more than a dozen East Bay priests and church officials, none still active, now facing abuse allegations in civil court for the first time. So far, they have not been added to Bishop Barber’s list, but they are included on SNAP’s.
“The next thing I remember, his hands were here on my throat,” Staley said. “I recall passing out, and when I woke, I was looking down and I could see the top of his head.” There are also examples of priests accused in more recent years, such as Fr. Alexander Castillo, who Bishop Barber placed on leave in 2019 after receiving reports he abused at least two minors between 2011 and 2014.
