Gennaro “Jerry” Gentile

Accused Priest Jerry Gentile

 

 

Fr. Gennaro “Jerry” Gentile of the Archdiocese of New York has been accused of sexually abusing multiple boys during his thirty-plus years as a priest. Archdiocesan officials are believed to have reached financial settlements with survivors of his abuse. Additionally, in 1997, two survivors brought a lawsuit alleging sexual abuse by Fr. Gentile in the early 1990s. That lawsuit settled in 2001.

 

The Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program of the Archdiocese of New York has made financial settlement available to at least one survivor of Fr. Gentile’s abuse.
