Monsignor Ronald Tully left the Augustinian order in 1970 to become a priest of Diocese of Paterson.
In 2015, a woman reached a settlement with the Paterson Roman Catholic Diocese over claims that Tully had fondled her 20 times while a 16-year-old student at Pope Pius XII Regional High School in Passaic County.
Tully was placed on leave in 2004, before the abuse was reported to the Archdiocese of Washington in 2011.
