Special Investigation Report

In the Fall of 2023, The Falls Church Anglican embarked upon an investigation of allegations of sexual abuse on the part of Jeff Taylor, who served as director of youth ministries at The Falls Church Episcopal (TFCE) from May 1990 to August 1999, and as director of adult discipleship at TFCE from September 1999 until February 2002.

On April 18, 2024, we received the Special Investigation Report and emailed a letter from our current rector and links to the report along with supporting exhibits to our parish and interested parties (nearly 4,500 unique recipients). We are deeply grieved by the findings of the report and continue to pray for healing.

The full, unredacted report and supporting exhibits can be downloaded below.

On August 29, 2024, we received an Addendum to the Investigation Report, which can be found here along with a letter from the wardens.

On September 15, 2026, we learned that the FBI announced that Taylor “was arrested and made an initial appearance in court yesterday on charges of enticement of minors for illegal sexual activity and traveling with the intent to engage in illegal sexual activity with minors.”

Anyone with information not yet provided to this investigation or who may have been a victim of Jeffrey Taylor is encouraged to contact the FBI Washington Field Office at this link.
