	Priest Investigated For Sexual Abuse By John Abraham Long Island Press June 8, 2007 http://www.longislandpress.com/?cp=162&show=article&a_id=12168 A Long Island priest is facing recent accusations regarding alleged sexual misconduct involving a 10-year-old boy. The abuse allegedly took place in the years 1994 to 1995. Reverend Gerald Twomey, 53, however, will not face criminal charges because the five-year statute of limitations for the alleged crimes has elapsed, according to Robert Clifford, a spokesperson for the Suffolk County District Attorney. The alleged abuse was brought to the attention of authorities by a letter received on May 31 from the Diocese of Rockville Centre attorney stating that the Twomey, pastor of Our Lady of Fatima in Manorhaven, had sexually abused a 10-year-old boy in the years 1994-95. At the time of the suspected abuse, the boy had been at home recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident and Twomey was co-pastor of St. Anne’s Church in Brentwood.
