Summary of Case: A priest of the Camden diocese ordained in 1974, Igle assisted at parishes and through the 1990s was Clinical Director of Catholic Social Services. He was accused in a 1994 lawsuit of having sexually assaulted and raped a boy in the 1970s, when the boy was 14-17 years-old. The abuse is said to have taken place at St. Cecilia’s in Pennsauken and at a Blackwood parish. Igle was allowed to stay in ministry. His accuser received a settlement in 2000 of $7,000. Igle denied the abuse and said in May 2000 that he was going on a voluntary leave of absence; the diocese said he was removed because of the allegations. Another man received a settlement in the early 2000s after alleging sexual abuse by Igle in the 1970s at a Deptford parish. In July 2015 Igle is a licensed practicing marriage and family counselor in New Jersey.
