MENDHAM – The question for Fred Marigliano, himself a victim of clergy sexual abuse, remains why?
Why did a 39-year-old former borough man take a sledgehammer to the memorial at St. Joseph church to remember people who have been sexually abused by priests?
Gordon Ellis, now of Morristown, has admitted to the vandalism but said in Superior Court in Morristown on Friday that he didn’t know why he did it.
Superior Court Judge Mary Gibbons Whipple sentenced Ellis to pay $7,500 in restitution for the Nov. 18, 2011 incident, two years probation and ordered Ellis to continue with psychiatric treatment.
