Handling of Sexual Abuse Scandal in the Diocese of London

In September 2018, Bishop Fabbro released a statement stating that the "extent of the abuse is shocking". He admitted that the "cover up" of sexual abuse by Roman Catholic dioceses was "terribly wrong". The statement was released in response to the media attention given to the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report that involved an investigation of clergy sexual abuse. In 2019, the Survivor's Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) confirmed that 36 priests were credibly accused of sexually abusing minors. Following media coverage of the list, the Diocese waived confidentiality of their previous settlements. When interviewed about the list compiled by SNAP, Bishop Fabbro indicated that the list was "substantially correct". He added that four other priests whose names were not on the list were accused of sexual abuse of minors. He refused to disclose the names of the priests. His decision faced considerable backlash from survivors and advocates. In November 2019, Bishop Fabbro attended a screening of a documentary on clergy sexual abuse at the invitation of a survivor of clergy sexual abuse.
