A federal jury in Delaware has begun deliberations in a lawsuit filed by a man who claims he was abused as a boy more than 30 years ago by a cleric who worked in the Archdiocese of New York.
Forty-four-year-old Brian Elliott claims he was repeatedly molested by Brother Damian Galligan, including while in Delaware during a trip from Elliott’s New Jersey home to Virginia in 1981.
Galligan is 86 and lives in a Missouri retirement facility. He has denied the allegations but is not defending himself, saying he’s in poor health and doesn’t have the strength to do so.
