From the Cleveland Plain Dealer 9-11-2002:
Priest Is Cleared of Recent Complaint
There is no evidence to support recent parental complaints that the Rev. James Viall may have abused and neglected children at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, county children's services investigators have ruled.
In a letter to Viall released this week by his lawyer, the Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services said its investigation concluded that the complaint brought by two sets of parents was unsubstantiated.
County and diocesan officials would not discuss the details of the complaint. But a lawyer who worked with the parents said the complaints included concerns that Viall may have provided alcohol to minors and taken inappropriate photos of children.
