A 58-year-old director of religious education at a small Catholic church on Willoughby near Taaffe Place was accused Friday of molesting a 10-year-old boy. The man, Angelo Serrano, of St. Lucy-St. Patrick Church, was arraigned Saturday on one count of first-degree sexual abuse and held on $150,000 bail, NY1 reports.

According to WABC-TV news, Mr. Serrano may be linked to as many as 17 other abuse cases. The Post reported that Mr. Serrano confessed to fondling more than a dozen other young boys.

The diocese of Brooklyn told WABC that Mr. Serrano had passed background checks for his paid, part-time position as director, and that as director his contact with children was minimal.
