ALBANY — The Albany Roman Catholic Diocese on Thursday said an internal review board has determined that a former janitor at a Catholic elementary school in Albany may have sexually abused at least one boy there in the 1970s.

The alleged abuse took place at St. Teresa of Avila, which was located on New Scotland Avenue and has since been closed by the diocese.

Two men, including the victim whose allegation was recently sustained by the diocese, told the Times Union in January that Eugene Hubert, Jr., a former school custodian, sexually abused them when they were 12 and 13 years old. Hubert, who last lived near Warrensburg, Warren County, died in 1997 at the age of 54.
