NEWARK, N.J.—New Jersey’s five Roman Catholic dioceses listed more than 180 priests on Feb. 13, who have been credibly accused of sexually abusing minors over a span of several decades, joining more than two dozen other states that have named suspected abusers in the wake of a landmark grand jury report in Pennsylvania last year.
The lists released Wednesday identified priests and deacons who served in the dioceses of Camden, Trenton, Metuchen, and Paterson and the Archdiocese of Newark. Many priests on the lists are deceased, and others have been removed from ministry.
