Msgr. James T. Booth

Ordination: 1946

Notes: Multiple survivors have come forward alleging child sexual abuse by Fr. James T. Booth, from approximately 1965 to 1970, while he worked at Mission San Diego de Alcala. In 1971, Fr. Booth left the priesthood, allegedly in order to marry a 19-year-old San Diego State University student. Fr. Booth then became an Episcopal priest and worked throughout Central Valley, California until he retired in the 1990s. He has been named in at least two civil lawsuits. Fr. Booth was included in the Diocese of San Diego’s list of priests where the Diocese has received a credible allegation involving sexual abuse of a minor. His exact whereabouts and whether he had access to children from 1971 until his death in 2012 are unknown.
