Summary of Sexual Abuse Allegations Against Father John Doolan:
In 1999, sexual abuse allegations were reported against Fr. John Doolan. Documents do not state how many allegations were lodged against him, but he admitted to the abuse of minors in the 1960s and 1970s.
In 2002, Doolan was sent to Murray-Weigel Hall, the Jesuit New York Province's infirmary and retirement home on campus at Fordham University.

He was permanently removed from ministry in 2006 and died in 2008.
