Theodore Gabrielli, a 61-year-old Catholic priest, has been arrested in San Luis Obispo County for sexually abusing three boys in the early 1990s. Initially granted bail, a judge later deemed him a public safety risk, removing the option of bail. Gabrielli has held influential roles in the Jesuit order, including director of California Jesuit Missions. Despite his prominence, he was not previously listed among credibly accused clergy. The ongoing sexual abuse scandal within the Catholic Church highlights systemic issues and calls for accountability.
Gabrielli, 61, was arrested June 12 in Los Osos... charged with three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a minor and one count of forced sodomy.
This is not your run-of-the-mill priest... This is a very powerful Jesuit.
Victim advocates have accused church leaders around the country of failing to adequately address allegations of abuse and protect vulnerable communities.
Since at least 2004, Gabrielli is listed in official Catholic directories as the director of California Jesuit Missions.
