Former Priest Charged With Child Sex Abuse

March 24, 2025

In October 2023, detectives with the Baltimore County Police Department’s Crimes Against Children Unit were alerted of past sexual abuse by a former priest. During their investigation, the survivor provided information regarding sexual abuse by 62-year-old William “Father Bill” Mannion that occurred from approximately 1991 through 1994 in the 600 block of St. Agnes Lane, 21229. On March 24, 2025, Mannion was arrested and charged with second degree child abuse and multiple sex offenses.

 

Detectives believe there may be more victims of Mannion’s abuse and urge them to come forward. Anyone with information about these crimes can contact the Crimes Against Children Unit at 410-887-7720 or Child Protective Services at 410-887-8463.
