Fr. Gregory J. Littleton
Per Metuchen Bishop Bootkoski, Littleton gave information to the Diocese in 1993 that implicated him in the sexual abuse of two minors. He was removed from ministry and sent for a psychiatric evaluation and therapy. He was allowed to return to ministry on a limited basis, returning full time in 1997. In 1997 he was transferred to the Charlotte diocese, which was told of his past. In 10/2002 allegations were reported to Metuchen and passed on to Charlotte. He was not removed by Charlotte until 2/2004, when the allegations were deemed credible. Reportedly in 8/2018, Littleton claimed he was a victim of sexual misconduct by Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. Littleton was included 2/13/2019 on the Metuchen diocese’s list of credibly accused, and on the Charlotte diocese’s list 12/29/2019.

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.
