Summary:
  • Monsignor Beausang died in August 2000.
  • Monsignor Charles Beausang was accused of sexually abusing a male minor child on one occasion in approximately 1950 when the boy was approximately nine years old. At the time of the claimed sexual abuse, Monsignor Beausang was assigned to Our Lady Star of the Sea Church in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
  • The sexual abuse by Monsignor Beausang took place inside Our Lady Star of the Sea School, where the male child was a student. Monsignor Beausang told the boy to expose the boy’s penis to Monsignor Beausang and to masturbate in front of the boy. Monsignor Beausang began to unfasten the boy’s belt buckle, and then the boy ran away.
  • The claim settled in 2020 in the four figures.
