Catholic Diocese Release list of New Jersey Priests Accused of Sex Abuse

On Wednesday, February 13, 2019, five New Jersey Catholic Diocese released the names of priests and deacons “credibly accused” of sexually abusing a child in the past many years.

The five Catholic Diocese include the Archdiocese of Newark, the Diocese of Camden, the Diocese of Trenton, the Diocese of Paterson and the Diocese of Metuchen.

Importantly, on Nov 19, 2018, the Archdiocese of Newark announced New Jersey’s five diocese will form a “Victim Compensation and Counseling Program” in the coming year.
