A sex abuse investigation involving a former Bronx priest has been quietly closed with no charges filed, the Daily News has learned.
Police sources said no criminal charges will be brought against the Rev. Anthony Giuliano, who had been accused of molesting a 15-year-old boy at Holy Rosary Church in Baychester in the 1980s.
“All the leads in the investigation were exhausted,” a police source said. “It was not determined that a crime had taken place.”
Even if detectives found enough evidence to warrant charges, Giuliano couldn’t be prosecuted because of the statute of limitations on child sex abuse cases in New York — meaning the alleged crime committed by the man of the cloth would forever go unpunished.
Victims of child sex abuse have until age 23 to bring a criminal or civil case.
The Daily News launched a campaign last year to pressure officeholders to support the Child Victims Act.
