More names have been released. Leaders of the Catholic Church in NJ said they revealed the nearly 200 names to provide “healing.”
Leaders of the Catholic Church in New Jersey revealed the names of priests “credibly accused” of child sex abuse Wednesday to help victims heal as more revelations have been made in recent months.
The list shows nearly 200 members of the clergy with ties to New Jersey who have faced allegations of child sex abuse. Nearly all of them were either sanctioned by the church, charged with a crime or both.
Patch has the list of priests and deacons provided by each New Jersey archdiocese – Metuchen, Newark, Trenton, Camden and Paterson – below. All five New Jersey dioceses released names; not all provided details on church affiliations.
Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, the archbishop of Newark, said the list includes all those from New Jersey who were credibly accused of sexual abuse of minors dating back to 1940.
