Of course, the vast majority of crooked or pervy religious leaders get away with everything. Of those that are caught, many are quietly reassigned to other duties, not defrocked or punished. Of the few cases that aren’t hushed up, there’s no knowing how many make the news, but undoubtedly I miss most of them, in compiling this list.
