A former priest living in Asbury Park has been indicted on charges of with [sic] carnal knowledge of a minor, according to Mark R. Herring, attorney general for Virginia.
On March 12, Scott Asalone, 63, was indicted for carnal knowledge of a minor between 13 and 15 years old, after Herring and Virginia State Police conducted an investigation of clergy abuse in the state, officials said. Asalone’s case will be tried at the Loudoun County Circuit Court in Leesburg, Virginia.
In 1985, Asalone was allegedly connected to a sexual contact case, which involved a former parishioner, officials said. During this time, Asalone was a member of the clergy assigned to St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Purcellville, Virginia.
