Summary of Sexual Abuse Allegations Against Father Anthony Pereira:
Fr. Anthony Pereira was ordained a Salesian priest, who served in multiple parishes in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

He was last reported to be living in San Mateo, CA. His status as a priest and whether he has access to children are unknown.
In 2013, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles quietly named Fr.

The details of the sexual abuse allegations, including when and where the alleged abuse occurred, or the victim’s age/gender, are unknown.
The introduction to the Final Addendum states that the list “includes names of clergy from a follow up review of Archdiocesan files, and names of clergy involved in Clergy I litigation which were not previously posted.”
