Status: Accused

Died: 07/3/1988
Diocese: Archdiocese of Boston MA

Records show leave of absence 1978-79. Accused in 1993 of molesting a 15-year-old altar boy during the summer of 1985. His alleged victim claimed that the pastor, Fr. O’Sullivan, had been told of the abuse and that O’Sullivan said there had been a previous allegation against Fusoni by the parents of another boy. Died 7/3/88 at age 55 of lung cancer. The 8/11 Boston archdiocese list reported no formal determination of guilt either because he died prior to canonical investigation or it was not complete at his death.

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.
