Former Albany Bishop Hubbard named in fourth sexual abuse lawsuit

ALBANY, N.Y. (WRGB) - Allegations against former Albany Bishop Howard Hubbard continue to pile up. He has been named in a fourth sexual abuse lawsuit

The suit is made possible by the look back window of the Child Victims Act.

It was filed Friday in the Albany County Supreme Court.

According to court documents, the alleged abuse took place at St. John the Baptist in Chestertown, which is owned by the Albany Catholic Diocese.

The alleged abuse came across a three year period between 1988 through 1990, naming Hubbard and a former priest who has since died.

The Albany Diocese released a statement saying in part:

"The Diocese of Albany remains focused on survivors, intent on making sure the truth comes out in every case that has been filed Because we do not want to prejudice any investigation or pending litigation, we will have no further comment on individual cases.”

Hubbard is maintaining his innocence.
