A preliminary report commissioned by the nation’s Roman Catholic bishops to investigate sexual abuse by members of the clergy has found no evidence that gay priests are more likely than heterosexual ones to molest children, the authors of the study said. The full report by researchers at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice will not be completed until the end of next year. But the authors said their evidence to date found no data indicating that homosexuality was a predictor of abuse.
