A victims advocate says at least five people are now accusing a former Delbarton School of making sexual advances toward them.
The latest is a former Morris County resident who now lives in North Carolina. In a notarized statement released by advocate Patrick J. Marker, the alleged victim says the Rev. Luke Travers “kissed my neck and then put his cheek on my cheek” during an intimate confessional session.
“Only recently have I begun to understand the effect that Father Luke’s actions had in my life. I do not wish similar pain or confusion on any person,” the alleged victim says in the letter.
In January, Marker said he that alleged victim had not filed charges with any agency. It was not clear if that remained the case.
