NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The Archbishop of Newark says he was unaware of allegations of sexual abuse or inappropriate behavior made against a priest he once supervised in Illinois.
Archbishop John Myers said he knew nothing of the allegations against Monsignor Thomas Maloney. Myers was the bishop of Peoria, Ill., from 1990 to 2001, while Maloney was a priest in Normal, Ill.
The Diocese of Peoria is paying $1.35 million to settle a claim of abuse against Maloney, who died in 2009.
