MORRIS COUNTY — Two former Mendham residents are planning to file a lawsuit Tuesday in Morris County, alleging sexual abuse by two Delbarton School monks in the 1970s, when the men were adolescents, according to the complaint, obtained by The Star-Ledger.
The alleged victims, referred to in the Superior Court document only by their initials, will remain unnamed until a press conference at the Morris County courthouse at 10:30 Tuesday morning, said the men’s attorney, Gregory Gianforcaro of Phillipsburg.
Named as defendants in the lawsuit are the private all-boys school and St. Mary’s Abbey, which runs the school. Both are located in Morris Township.
The allegations, made against Rev. Justin Capato and Rev. Luke Travers, are the latest in a string of accusations that have rocked the elite school in the past three months.
