A Manhattan parish priest remains on the job despite allegations from two former altar boys that he sexually abused the pair, an attorney charged Thursday.
The Rev. Lawrence Quinn targeted the boys in two separate incidents while in a Bronx parish where he spent nearly two decades, according to lawyer Patrick Noeker.
“Protecting kids must be our first priority,” said Noeker. “It is extremely troubling that Quinn is still serving in a parish after two survivors have come forward and alerted the church with reports of his abuse.”
The first incident, with an altar boy under the age of 11, allegedly occurred between 1990-96. The second happened between 1999-2001 and involved a 12-to-14-year-old victim, said Noeker.
