Fox News
A former New Jersey priest stands accused of molesting a 5-year-old girl in 1976, according to a $50 million lawsuit.
Gerety passed away in 2016 at the age of 104. The New Jersey Independent Victim Compensation Program offered an initial settlement of $5,000, which the victim rejected, The Record and NorthJersey.com reported. The lawsuit alleges that Gerety molested the victim when she was a little girl, telling her that his actions were "what God required and wanted" him to do, and that she needed to keep them secret or it would "hurt" her mother.More Related News
