Days after the Diocese of St. Augustine confirmed abuse allegations against one of its retired priests, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says that it will not be pursuing criminal charges.
According to an incident report from JSO, criminal charges cannot be pursued against Father David Terrence Morgan due to statute of limitation restrictions.
First Coast News reached out to Morgan for comment, but have not yet heard back.
The 2020 report concerns an alleged incident happened in 1977. Morgan, now 71, was 27 years old.
On Sept. 24, 2020, an alleged victim told JSO that they had a sexual relationship with Morgan, who was a priest at the time, that lasted anywhere from two to three months.
