Father J. Arthur G. Dupuis was a Roman Catholic priest ordained in 1962 who served in multiple parishes within the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts, during his ministry. According to public records, Father Dupuis is among clergy who have been accused of sexual abuse of minors, with allegations received by the Diocese relating to misconduct during his assignments.
His name has been included on the Diocese of Fall River’s own list of credibly accused clergy, published as part of the diocese’s response to the sexual abuse crisis. The inclusion of Father Dupuis on this list reflects that allegations were made concerning his conduct with minors while he served in the Diocese of Fall River.
Father Dupuis is listed as deceased on the diocesan credibly accused list. While criminal prosecution is not possible, survivors who experienced abuse at his hands may still have options for pursuing civil accountability.

Survivors who endured abuse at the hands of Father J. Arthur G. Dupuis carry wounds that no one should bear alone. They experienced emotional, psychological, and spiritual harm inflicted by someone entrusted with their care. Civil litigation may offer survivors a meaningful path toward accountability, validation, and justice.
Civil courts may provide survivors with the opportunity to pursue legal action against individual abusers and the institutions that may have enabled them. The diocese or religious organization overseeing Father Dupuis may have borne a legal duty of care toward the minors in his presence. Survivors who were harmed by Father Dupuis may have legal claims not only related to his conduct, but potentially against the Diocese of Fall River, which may bear responsibility for how clergy under its supervision were monitored and managed.
Every survivor who comes forward does more than seek personal justice. Their claims may expose systemic patterns of concealment that allowed abuse to continue unchecked, compelling institutions to prioritize protection over reputation. Civil cases can create transparency where silence once prevailed. Survivors deserve recognition that their experiences were real and inexcusable, and may be entitled to compensation for the profound harm they suffered.
Every survivor deserves compassion and acknowledgment. This video explains how civil law empowers individuals harmed by clergy abuse to pursue accountability and closure. Justice extends beyond courtrooms; it allows survivors to reclaim their voice and aids them on their healing journey. Survivors across Massachusetts continue proving that truth carries strength and healing begins with being heard.
