There are calls for the name of a priest accused of sexually abusing a child to be removed from a building in Glen Cove.
Attorney Mitchell Garabedian says his client was sexually abused by Father Eligio Della Rosa in 1964 at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church.
“He asked my client to meet him in the pews of the church and my client did,” says Garabedian. “And that’s where my client was sexually abused by Father Della Rosa, by Father Della Rosa instructing my client to perform oral sex on Father Della Rosa at the age of 14.”
Garabedian, who has represented other abuse victims, says his client wants Della Rosa’s name removed from a building at the Church of Saint Rocco in Glen Cove.
