Summary of Abuse Allegations against Father William Hollinger:

Father William Hollinger was ordained a priest in 1946, who served in multiple parishes in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. According to media reports, his name was quietly added, along with 24 others, to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles' 2013 Final Addendum of clergy credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors. It noted an allegation was reported in September 2018, that he repeatedly sexually abused a girl, including rape, while he was serving at St. Catherine Laboure  in Torrance from 1954 to 1958, when the girl was age 7.

His file was released in 2013, after a judge forced the archdiocese to release tens of thousands of pages of secret priest personnel files.

Father Hollinger died in 1988.
