Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, already under a church investigation for alleged sex abuse, has been accused by a second man of abuse in the 1970s, when the bishop was a parish priest in New Jersey. DiMarzio has denied the accusations.

DiMarzio’s case has drawn interest because it is among the first conducted according to procedures Pope Francis issued under a new church law that went into effect last June.

The Roman Catholic bishop of Brooklyn, already under a church investigation for alleged sex abuse, has been accused by a second man who says he was molested in the 1970s. Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio has denied the accusations. Last November, the AP reported that Garabedian planned to file suit on Matzek’s behalf in New Jersey. But he said he put the plan on hold after the Archdiocese of New York asked whether Matzek would cooperate with Dolan’s investigation. Garabedian said both men, as well as a family member of Tadros, are prepared to answer questions from Dolan’s investigators.Dolan has retained New York attorney John O’Donnell and the law firm of Herbert Smith Freehills to conduct the investigation.

But Garabedian and advocates for clergy abuse survivors have questioned Dolan’s ability to remain neutral, citing comments he made during a Jan. 21 episode of his weekly “Conversation with Cardinal Dolan” podcast. “It’s very difficult for my clients to believe Cardinal Dolan could be neutral in this matter, after the public statement Cardinal Dolan made about his good friend Bishop DiMarzio,” Garabedian said.

And O’Donnell, the attorney retained to conduct Dolan’s investigation, noted in an email that “while Cardinal Dolan is to oversee the investigation, he is not the one to adjudicate the matter.”
