George Rutler is a reactionary Catholic priest who advocates for conservative causes, mocks liberals, and attacks Pope Francis. He has had his own radio show, a church in midtown Manhattan, writes opinion pieces for a few Catholic magazines, and has written books on Catholic history. He compared Gov. Cuomo to King Herod. He is downright mean. To get an idea of how mean, he was enraged by a eulogy praising David Bowie who wrote that Bowie’s death was the first time he knew he existed. He bragged of walking out of events and restaurants if rock music is played, Funny how he did not know Bowie existed but knew enough to call him on of the “paragons of degeneracy and paladins of vice.”
He has been accused of sexual assault.
He was accused of sexual assault by a woman who worked as a security guard at the church where he presided. He was watching porn and masturbating. She filmed it and provided the recording to police and news organizations. The recording is short, about 19 seconds, and sent to her mother along with a claim she was afraid of Rutler. She claims when she tried to leave the room, he blocked the door, pushed against a wall, and fondled her breasts. She got free and escaped. He denies touching her but did respond to the allegations of watching porn and masturbating.
