Summary of Sexual Abuse Allegations against Father Alexander Larkin:

Fr. Alexander Larkin was ordained a priest in 1967 who served in multiple parishes in the Diocese of San Jose.

Another man said he was abused at St. William's in 1981. At least one civil suit was filed, in December 2003, and was settled by April 2006.
