John Jay Report
The John Jay Report was commissioned by the U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops and was based on surveys completed by the Catholic dioceses in the United States. The surveys provided
information from diocesan files on each priest accused of sexual abuse and on each of the priest's victims. That information was
filtered, so that the research team did not have access to the names of the accused priests or the dioceses where they worked.
The report presents aggregate findings. The dioceses were encouraged to issue reports of their own based on the surveys that they
had completed. The Report found accusations against 4,392 priests in the USA, about 4% of all priests.[1]
