In 2009, Brady retired from Good Shepherd in Marine Park, but continued to live in the rectory.
In October 2011, Brady was arrested on charges of having sexual contact with a 13-year-old boy at Good Shepherd Parochial School. Another boy accused Brady of sexually abusing him on the same day, hours after the first attack. Brady was placed on forced administrative leave. A grand jury failed to indict him on criminal charges in May 2012, however Brady remained on leave while the Diocese continued its internal investigation.
Brady died on March 25, 2013. He was a member of the Priests’ Purgatorial Society.
