Fr. Richard J. Barry
Worked in MA, PA, DC, MI. Personnel file review in 2002 showed Barry allegedly raped and assaulted a youth at St. William’s in Tewksbury, MA, where he was assigned 1978-1981. Transferred to Dallastown, PA. Included in 3/2003 NH A.G. report. Per documents, the same man claimed Barry raped and sexually abused him beginning at age 16 or 17 in NH. Name omitted from 2011 Boston AD database because he was an Order priest. Included on Harrisburg PA diocese list released 8/1/2018. Per attorney Mitchell Garabedian, there was a settlement in 2021 in the mid-five figures of a claim of abuse of a boy, age 14, while on a camping trip in NH in 1981.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
