2.10 ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
Under its Zero Tolerance policy, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles will not knowingly assign or retain a priest, deacon, religious, lay person, or volunteer to serve in its parishes, schools, other pastoral ministries, or in any other assignment when such an individual has previously engaged in the sexual abuse of a minor (person under 18 years of age).
To be clear, any person who has engaged in the sexual abuse of a minor under the age of 18:
May not have any paid or volunteer assignment in any ministry in the archdiocese
May not engage in any paid or volunteer non-ministerial activity or event
The archdiocesan Zero Tolerance policy is broader than the requirements of Megan's Law and similar statutory restrictions.
