The Diocese of Gallup in New Mexico has added the name of a New Jersey priest to its list of credibly accused sex abusers.
The Gallup Independent reports the diocese said this week it was adding Thomas M. Harkins, who served three months at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Page, Arizona from October 1981 to January 1982.
The Diocese of Camden removed Harkins from the priesthood in 2002 following allegations of child sexual abuse.
Harkins already appeared on the Dioceses of Camden's listed of 57 credibly accused clergy released in January. He once served at St. Anthony of Padua in Hammonton, according to the list. It does not say how long he served in Hammonton.
The list stated that Harkins had been removed from the ministry, but did not identify what year.
Church officials in Gallup say they are not aware of any complaints or allegations regarding Harkins during his brief time in Arizona.
Harkins made the national news in 2012 following media reports he had been hired by the Transportation Security Administration and was working at the Philadelphia International Airport.
