Fr. James J. Agosta
Accused in a 3/20 lawsuit of sexually abusing a young altar boy decades prior. The boy was allegedly ‘shared’ with multiple priests. Per the diocese in 2020, Agosta’s file was given to the state grand jury in 2016 because of a complaint, but because the accuser was anonymous and Agosta was dead, there could not be an investigation. Agosta died in 1995.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
