Texas Priest Accused of Groping Teen
Texas Priest Accused of Groping Teen

Tuesday December 20, 2005 5:31 AM

MARBLE FALLS, Texas (AP) - A Roman Catholic priest accused of groping a 16-year-old boy at a movie theater during a showing of ``King Kong'' has been charged with indecency with a child by sexual contact.

Father Paul M. Clogan, 74, was arrested Friday as he left the theater, police Capt. F.T. Goodwin said in Monday's online edition of the Austin American-Statesman. Clogan was free on bond Monday.

Clogan sat next to the teen in the theater, Goodwin said. The boy, who did not know Clogan, told investigators the priest groped him about an hour after the movie started.

Clogan was serving at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Horseshoe Bay. He has been removed from active ministry until the case is resolved, Austin Bishop Gregory Aymond said.

5. oh I dunno
maybe because abuse allegations are well-known but the priests are allowed to continue serving or get shuffled off to work somewhere elase and continue their "activities"??? Pass the plate for the payoff and don't ask any more questions.
