The Erie Diocese on Friday released its updated list of names of people who have been credibly accused of actions that disqualify them from working with children.

Four laypersons, one of whom is deceased, and one former priest have been added to the list.

Two of the laypeople are new; one layperson and the former priest have been moved from “under investigation” to “credibly accused.” The fifth person is now awaiting sentencing and has been moved to the “credibly accused” list.

Two other priests and an additional layperson, all of whom are deceased, have been added to the list of those under investigation.

New names added to the list of credible allegations (living)

• Jonathan J. Borkowski — Fairview, Pennsylvania
Former lay employee (previously under investigation)

• Former Fr. Thomas M. Lechner—Sewickley, Pennsylvania
Laicized (previously under investigation)

• Ann Marie Hanes (Strall) — Spokane, Washington
Former lay teacher

• Robert D. Viszneki —Erie, Pennsylvania
Former parish volunteer (previously awaiting trial, now awaiting sentencing)

• Albert S. Davies
Former lay teacher
Date of Death: September 2005

New names under investigation

• Fr. Stephen A. Anderson — deceased

• Michael L. DiFrancisco — deceased

• Msgr. Conrad L. Kraus — deceased

Modification made to existing name on the list:

• Fr. Edward W. Jungquist was thought to be deceased. He is now listed as “whereabouts unknown,” and is forbidden to function as a priest.

The Diocese said it will work with its independent investigators at the Pittsburgh-based K&L Gates law firm to continue investigating all allegations.

Full list of credibly accused

Every person named on this list was credibly accused of actions that the Diocese believes disqualifies that person from working with children. Such actions could include the use of child pornography, furnishing pornography to minors, corruption of minors, violating a child-protection policy, failure to prevent abuse that they knew to be happening, and — in some cases — direct physical sexual abuse or sexual assault of minors.

Additionally, we recognize that some of the individuals who failed our children and other vulnerable populations are now deceased. The list below names those individuals who — but for their death — would be on the above list of people prohibited from employment. In furnishing the names of these deceased individuals, the diocese wishes to acknowledge those victims/survivors who were harmed by their actions, to encourage any other victims/survivors to come forward who have not already done so, and to reaffirm the commitment of the diocese to offer support and assistance to victims/survivors of abuse. Individuals are listed with their current (in the case of priests) or last known (in the case of laypersons) status with the Diocese of Erie or any of the schools or agencies within the diocese.
