The Diocese of Duluth has added a former Carlton County priest to its list of clergy deemed “credibly accused” of child sexual abuse.
The Rev. David Tushar had served as a priest in Northeastern Minnesota for nearly 35 years when he was placed on leave in July 2019 pending an investigation into allegations of abuse.
The allegations were related to his earlier service as a Holy Cross Father and Catholic school teacher in Niles, Illinois, from 1978-79.
