Diocese of Metuchen Sexual Abuse

We filed some of the first lawsuits against the Diocese of Metuchen under New Jersey’s new law for survivors of childhood sexual abuse.  The new law gives all abuse survivors, regardless of their current age, a limited time to pursue a legal claim for the abuse they suffered.  If you were sexually abused by a priest or someone else associated with the Diocese of Metuchen, please contact us to learn your options and to ensure your legal rights are protected.  You are not alone and it was not your fault.

Priests Accused of Child Sexual Abuse:  More than 15 priests and others who served within the Diocese of Metuchen have been the subject of allegations of childhood sexual abuse, although many of the allegations were not investigated because of New Jersey outdated statute of limitations for abuse survivors.

The following list of priests who have faced abuse allegations was compiled from different sources, including news reports. Please know some of the allegations are disputed by the individuals listed below. Where possible we have provided a summary of the allegations and a list of the individual’s known assignments.

By default the list below is sorted by the priest’s last name. You can also sort the list by first name.

Please know the list is not intended to be exhaustive — there are likely priests and others in the Diocese of Metuchen who abused children but who are not listed below.
