Former Priest at Saint Francis of Assisi in West Nyack Accused of Sex Abuse

Published

on

WEST NYACK, NY – Monsignor (or Father Edward Weber), who served at Saint Francis of Assisi in West Nyack, is facing charges for allegedly raping a boy at least 150 times while at a parish in Staten Island in the 1970s and 1980s.

NEWS 12 Reporting –

Weber has served as pastor of the St. Francis of Assisi parish in West Nyack since 1994 and as regional vicar of Rockland County since 2002.

The lawsuit filed with the Supreme Court of the State of New York alleges that, from 1978 to 1983, Weber, currently Director of Priest Personnel, molested and violently raped Haughwout when he was 11–16 years old and in foster care at least 150 times at various locations, including the altar and rectory of St. Sylvester.

The lawsuit states that Weber, who abused “many other young patrons of St. Sylvester Church,” would pin Haughwout down so that the boy could not move while Weber violently raped him as the alleged victim “would cry and beg Weber to stop to no avail.”

According to Lohud, he recently served as a weekend associate at St. Gregory Barbarigo Church in Garnerville
