Albany Bishop Accused of Inappropriate Relationship

That led to suicide...



From Capital News 9 | 24 Hour Local News | Capital Region:



"Albany Bishop Howard Hubbard has been accused of having an inappropriate relationship more than 20 years ago.



Attorney John Aretakis and his client Andrew Zalay are accusing Hubbard of having a sexual relationship with Zalay's brother Tom in the 1970s, before Hubbard became bishop. Tom Zalay committed suicide in 1978.



Andrew Zalay said, 'As a bishop, I think he has unfairly used his position in the church to get what he wants from me. So that's my brother crying out to me. I mean, you can't be simpler than that. I wish he could be here.'



Andrew said he wants to make sure no other family has to endure what they had to. Tom left behind his diary in which Andrew claims there's clear indication Bishop Howard Hubbard had a sexual relationship with Tom in the late 1970s. "
