Filing a Sexual Abuse Report

How to File a Sexual Abuse Report

Anyone wishing to report an allegation of sexual abuse by clergy or Church representative should call:

Diocesan Investigator Mike Magalski
Phone: 207-321-7836
E-mail: [email protected]

The Diocese will inform the victim that a report will be made and advise and support a victim’s right to make a report themselves.

The Diocese will offer to pay for counseling with a licensed therapist of the individual’s choice, regardless of whether the individual is in the process of asserting a lawsuit or a claim for damages against the Diocese. The Bishop or his representative will offer to meet the reported victim or his/her family.

Our Policy on Counseling Assistance Reimbursement is published here.
