Msgr. William Williams, a former vicar of Ulster County, has died five months after being cleared by a Vatican-authorized tribunal of sexually abusing a child.
Williams was 85 when he died at the Ten Broeck Commons nursing home in Lake Katrine on Oct. 9, according to his obituary.
Williams’ name appeared on an April 26, 2019, list released by the Archdiocese of New York that contained the names of 120 priests who had been “credibly accused” of sexual abuse. Williams was among 12 priests in the Mid-Hudson Valley who appeared on the list.
