accused
To accuse someone of something means to say that they are guilty of it. This can happen in everyday situations, such as children accusing each other of not sharing. But accused is most used in the context of the criminal justice system to indicate that a person has been officially charged with a crime.

Samuel Chase had served on the Supreme Court since 1796. A staunch Federalist with a volcanic personality, Chase showed no willingness to tone down his bitter partisan rhetoric after Jeffersonian Republicans gained control of Congress in 1801. Representative John Randolph of Virginia, at the urging of President Thomas Jefferson, orchestrated impeachment proceedings against Chase, declaring he would wipe the floor with the obnoxious justice. The House voted to impeach Chase on March 12, 1804, accusing Chase of refusing to dismiss biased jurors and of excluding or limiting defense witnesses in two politically sensitive cases. The trial managers (members of the House of Representatives) hoped to prove that Chase had "behaved in an arbitrary, oppressive, and unjust way by announcing his legal interpretation on the law of treason before defense counsel had been heard." Highlighting the political nature of this case, the final article of impeachment accused the justice of continually promoting his political agenda on the bench, thereby "tending to prostitute the high judicial character with which he was invested, to the low purpose of an electioneering partizan."

While this list is as comprehensive as possible, there are challenges presented by the age of or lack of information relating to certain allegations as well as the reality of human fallibility. Therefore, it can never be said with complete certainty that this list contains the names of every cleric who has ever sexually abused a child in the Diocese of Columbus. In light of this, there may be those who experienced abuse but who do not see the name of the cleric who abused them on this list. The fact that the name of an accused diocesan cleric does not appear on this list is not a repudiation of an allegation or a denial that the alleged abuse occurred. Likewise, it is possible that new information could be presented that might clear an accused cleric of wrongdoing. Because of these factors, this list will always be a work in progress, and the Diocese will continue to consider both new allegations as well as new information about old allegations so that, as much as humanly possible, this list will be complete and accurate.
