COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Two more names have been added to the Catholic Diocese of Columbus’ list of clergy who served in the Diocese that have been credibly accused of sexual abuse of a minor. 

According to a news release from the Catholic Diocese of Columbus, since the initial list was sent out, a credible allegation was made against Father John J. Ryan under Section II, “Clergy incardinated in the Diocese of Columbus against whom a credible allegation of sexual abuse of a minor within the Diocese was made after the clergy’s death.”  

John died May 25, 1990 according to the Catholic Diocese of Columbus website. 

The release says the second aditional name–Msgr. Robert A. Brown–was added to Section V of the list after review and consultation with the Diocese of Steubenville. That section includes “Extern or religious clergy who served in the Diocese of Columbus that were credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors elsewhere,” meaning that the alleged incident occured outside the Diocese of Columbus.
