I was personally acquainted with McCarrick while living in Metuchen back in the eighties. As the bishop of Metuchen, McCarrick was in a position to correct many abuses (of which I am CERTAIN he knew)while there. He chose to do nothing. Furthermore, while McCarrick was living in the cathedral parish, the priest at the head of the CYO there was a fairly well known homosexual predator. He was finally removed from ministry last year. (In fairness to McCarrick, I don't know for a fact that he knew about that priest, but if he didn't, he wasn't listening to his flock).
