NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) – The Archdiocese of Hartford and retired priest Fr. Gregory Altermatt are both facing damning allegations of sexual abuse in a new lawsuit.
Attorney Tom McNamara has successfully sued this Archdiocese before.
He made the latest claims during a Wednesday morning news conference in downtown New Haven announcing the legal action.
