Longtime priest and respected local leader in the Bronx accused of sexually abusing minors
A priest and respected longtime local leader in the Bronx has been accused of molesting minors, the Archdiocese of New York said Thursday.
The Rev. Richard Gorman can no longer serve in the clergy while authorities investigate claims that he sexually abused youths 30 years ago, the archdiocese announced in a press release.
At least one of the alleged victims was a 13-year-old boy who told authorities that Gorman, 62, molested him while he was a priest at St. Barnabas Church in Woodlawn, said the man's civil attorney, Mike Reck.
The victim told investigators that Gorman lured him to a church facility in Westchester where he performed a sex act on him, Reck said in an interview.
