MORRISTOWN — A non-practicing Catholic priest charged with fondling a 13-year-old girl’s buttocks under her skirt will be admitted into Morris County’s Pretrial Intervention program for first-time offenders.
Marcin A. Nurek, 39, made no admissions of wrongdoing and will be supervised under the program for 18 months. He must undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation, abide by any recommendations and cannot have unsupervised contact with children under the age of 18.
Nurek was admitted by Superior Court Judge Stephen Taylor into PTI on the recommendation of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office. If he successfully completes its terms, charges of criminal sexual contact and endangering the welfare of a minor will be dismissed and he will not have a criminal record.
A month after ordination, according to the charges, Nurek followed a group of girls down a street in Boonton, reached a hand under a 13-year-old’s skirt, and groped her buttocks over her underwear and told her she was “sexy.”
