	Foley Fallout Continues Central Florida News October 25, 2006 http://cfn13.com/StoryHeadline.aspx?id=19703 Now there's a second former altar boy claiming he was sexually abused by a Catholic priest who has admitted fondling former Congressman Mark Foley. The new allegation against the Reverend Anthony Mercieca is being made by a Florida man who knew the priest in the 1970s. His attorney is set to sue the Archdiocese of Miami. The man, identified only as John Doe Number 26, is now 40. He says he was about 12 years old when he was abused. Mercieca is banned from all church work as officials investigate Foley's claim that the clergyman molested him as a teenager. Foley was an altar boy at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Lake Worth in 1967. Mercieca is now 69 years old and lives in Malta. He doesn't serve in any parish but regularly celebrates Mass and hears confession.
