Summary of Sexual Abuse Allegations Against Father Augustine J Seidenberg:

In 1994, five women filed suit against Fr. Augustine J Seidenberg (Seidenburg), alleging sexual abuse as minors. According to the victims' reports, Seidenberg would force them to sit on his lap while he masturbated and fondled their genitals during confessions when serving in the Diocese of Camden: St. Thomas Roman Catholic Church in Brigantine and Our Lady Star of the Sea Roman Catholic Church in Cape May, New Jersey.

Seidenberg was permanently suspended from ministry in 1994, and the case was settled. Seidenberg's name appears on the Diocese of Camden 2019 list of priests credibly accused of child sexual abuse. According to Bishop Sullivan, the list, "includes those who admitted to the abuse, those who were found guilty after a trial in the church courts or the civil courts, and others against whom the evidence was so overwhelming as to be virtually unquestionable.

Seidenberg died in 2007.
