MORRIS TOWNSHIP — In June, attorney Gregory Gianforcaro held a news conference outside the Morris County Courthouse to announce his client, a victim of sexual abuse in the 1980s at the Delbarton School, wanted to join a growing chorus of men speaking out about violations they claim went on secretly for years at the school.
Gianforcaro said he was filing a lawsuit on his client’s behalf, seeking to free him from a confidentiality clause in a settlement agreement his client had signed with Delbarton at age 19 in lieu of suing the all-boys Catholic school.
And at some point that afternoon, Gianforcaro also mentioned, according to a Star-Ledger article published the next day, that the 1988 settlement paid his client seven figures.
That utterance of seven figures, Delbarton’s lawyer said today, meant Gianforcaro himself had knowingly violated the confidentiality clause in the 1988 settlement agreement.
