He gave her a place to live before abusing her. The girl’s sister walked in on Barry and her sister, who were naked in bed. Their mother reported the abuse to the Archdiocese in 9/1973. No action. Barry died in 2003 at age 97. Barry’s alleged victim came forward to the Archdiocese in 2006. Her 2007 lawsuit was dismissed due to the statute of limitations.

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.
