Cincinnati, OH, August 20, 2026 —
A new podcast series titled “What They Knew” is focusing on historical complaints and allegations surrounding Geoff Drew, a former music director and priest associated with the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
Drew was released from prison in August 2024, having served seven years of his sentence. His conviction stemmed from the rape of a young boy, with the offenses occurring between the late 1980s and early 1990s. The podcast aims to explore the knowledge held by Drew’s colleagues and families regarding his alleged inappropriate behavior, as well as the Archdiocese’s response to complaints over a span of three decades.
Currently, Drew is residing in a halfway house located in Cincinnati. He is registered as a Tier 3 sex offender.
“What They Knew” intends to examine the timeline of complaints and the subsequent actions, or inactions, taken by the Archdiocese concerning the allegations against Drew.
