Summary of Sexual Abuse Allegations against Father William B Cannon:
Father William B Cannon was recently included on the Diocese of Camden list of priests who were named as being “credibly accused” of child sex abuse. Other than his assignments and the year of his ordination, the Diocese of Camden provided no information about the nature or number of allegations against Cannon.

According to the Diocese of Camden, Cannon is deceased.
