Names of accused in Maryland AG’s sex abuse report on Baltimore Archdiocese are released
The statement from the archdiocese said that no one with credible allegations of child sexual abuse is in ministry today, adding that Church policy “continues to forever bar from all ministry anyone who would harm a child.”
The court ruled in August that the identities of all but three of those named in the report be released to the public in September. But more than three names remain redacted because of the appeals.
Some names remain redacted because of appeals that were made to the court, the attorney general’s office said on Tuesday. A further unredacted version of the report may be released pending the outcome of the appeals, the office said.
Statute of limitations to expire
The newly released report comes as Maryland’s statute of limitations ends on Oct. 1, following a bill that Maryland Gov. Wes Moore signed in April allowing lawsuits to be filed at any point alleging misconduct.
The previous statute of limitations prevented lawsuits until victims reached the age of 38.
Several dioceses have declared bankruptcy following similar legislation enacted in the states they are located in.
A spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office said it is prevented from commenting due to court order.
The 463-page report from the attorney general’s office is not a criminal charging document but a statement of alleged facts for informational purposes.
Those whose names were originally redacted in the report had the chance to appeal the court’s order, which many did during two hearings in July, according to the memorandum opinion and order issued by the court Aug. 16.
“These names are being released because the key to understanding the report is understanding that this did not happen because of anything ‘the archdiocese’ did or did not do. It happened because of the choices made by specific individuals at specific times,” Judge Robert Taylor wrote in the court’s opinion.

“There is a strong public policy interest in bringing these choices and actions into public view. The interest is not in putting anyone in jail, at this point; the events at issue occurred so long ago that this does not seem plausible,” Taylor wrote.
“But there is an interest in exposing what happened, to help ensure that it does not happen again. There is an interest in exposing how it happened, so that the public in general and public policy makers in particular can decide what, if any, actions need to be taken to prevent similar occurrences in the archdiocese and other institutions accustomed to a culture of respect, deference, hierarchy, and the lack of accountability that is often a part of such institutions,” he wrote.

Maryland woman pleads guilty to embezzling $1 million, using funds for Taylor Swift tickets, luxury items
BALTIMORE — An Ellicott City woman pleaded guilty Thursday to embezzling more than $1 million from a real estate agency and using the funds to pay for vacations, Taylor Swift tickets and more, according to the Maryland U.S. Attorney’s Office.
According to her guilty plea, between January 2020 and November 2023, Jennifer Tinker, 41, defrauded the real estate agency that she worked for by transferring over $1 million of company funds to her personal bank accounts, officials said.
Tinker embezzled the funds from the agency’s escrow, operating and commission accounts through wire transfers and Zelle payments, according to court officials.
She hid the transfers by listing fake recipients on the wire transfer paperwork in an effort to make it look legitimate. She would then wire the stolen money to her personal account.
Court officials said between February 2021 and November 2023, Tinker wired money to her personal accounts more than 90 times. She also made fraudulent entries in her employer’s internal accounting records to cover her transfers.
According to court officials, Tinker used the stolen funds to pay for luxury items and vacations, along with Taylor Swift tickets and five different vehicles.
In 2023, tickets to see Taylor Swift in concert were notoriously expensive and hard for fans to get their hands on, with some reportedly paying upwards of 70 times face value.
Tinker faces a maximum of 20 years in prison for the federal wire fraud charges. She is scheduled for sentencing on April 10, 2024, court officials said.
