MENDHAM TWP. ‑ Two former residents who were sexually abused by a former priest at St. Joseph Church when they were youths, filed a lawsuit on Tuesday claiming they were also victimized by two monks at the Delbarton School in Morris Township in the 1970s.
The suit was filed in Superior Court in Morristown by attorney Gregory Gianforcaro of Phillipsburg on behalf of William and Thomas Crane, twins who are now 46 and living on the west coast.
An advocate for victims of clergy sexual abuse also said he has spoken with six other former students who claim they also were victimized by the two monks, the Rev. Justin Capato and the Rev. Luke Travers, a former headmaster.
A spokesman for St. Mary’s Abbey, which runs Delbarton, said an internal review board is investigating claims against Travers and Capato.
