The Archdiocese of New York has suspended a Catholic priest, who once worked in the Bronx, from performing his religious duties after allegations surfaced that he molested a 15-year-old parishioner about 30 years ago — a crime that may forever go unpunished, the Daily News has learned.
Father Anthony Giuliano was serving as a pastor in a Dutchess County parish about 85 miles from Manhattan when the accusation was made on Aug. 16, decades after the incident allegedly occurred, police sources said.
As the investigation continues, Father Giuliano has been removed from the parish and “is not permitted to function as a priest until the matter is resolved,” according to the Most Reverend Gerald Walsh, the Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of New York.
The victim, now 43, told police that he worked in a church rectory in the Bronx neighborhood of Baychester between 1987 and 1988 when Giuliano befriended him.
