The Diocese of Metuchen, established in 1981 as the youngest of the dioceses in New Jersey, has also faced legal challenges regarding allegations of childhood sexual abuse within its clergy. While the Diocese of Metuchen has fewer lawsuits compared to other dioceses in the state, it still faces over 30 pending lawsuits filed by victims seeking justice and accountability.
To address these lawsuits, the cases have been consolidated since 2021, indicating a similar legal strategy to streamline the litigation process. The parties involved have been exchanging thousands of pages of discovery, highlighting the complexity of the legal issues at hand.
Despite progress in the litigation, several complex legal issues remain unresolved. The current discovery end date for the Diocese of Metuchen cases is June 1, 2024. This deadline underscores the ongoing nature of the legal process and the efforts being made to address the allegations of abuse and ensure that victims receive the justice they deserve.
