The Archdiocese of New York told a California college this month that a local priest had never been accused of sexual abuse, even while the priest was being investigated by the archdiocese for several abuse charges. An administrator at the college called the letter “a lie,” and said she can no longer trust assurances from the archdiocese.
On December 4, the New York archdiocese issued a letter stating “without qualification” that Fr Donald Timone had “never been accused of any act of sexual abuse or misconduct involving a minor.”
