Summary of Sexual Abuse Allegations Against Father Andrew Dittrich:

Ordained a Jesuit priest in 1960, Fr. Andrew Dittrich was accused in 2002 and again in 2018 of sexually abusing minors between 1966 and 1976. Dittrich served at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Rider College in Lawrenceville, NJ, and Fordham University in the Bronx, NY, at the time the abuse occurred. The allegations were deemed credible after the investigation.

Dittrich was named on the Jesuit list of "USA Northeast Province Jesuits with Credible Allegations of Sexual Abuse of a Minor" released in March of 2019. The details of the sexual abuse allegations, including when and where the abuse occurred or the victim's age/gender are unknown.

In 2021, Dittrich was included on the Diocese of Rockville Centre list, which notes that alleged abuse occurred at a family member's apartment.

Dittrich died in 1990.
