Shedding Light on Clergy Abuse and Supporting Survivors

Timothy F. Slevin’s story is a painful reminder of the consequences of institutional failures to protect children and vulnerable parishioners. At The Yost Legal Group, we believe in empowering survivors with information, advocacy, and the legal support they need to seek justice—no matter how long ago the abuse occurred.

Timothy F. Slevin was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1965, serving within the Archdiocese of Washington (ADW). Despite abandoning the priesthood in 1974 and being formally removed from the clerical state in 1978, allegations of sexual abuse surfaced years later, ultimately leading to his arrest and conviction.
