STOCKTON – Diocese of Stockton’s Bishop Stephen Blaire testified Wednesday in a civil trial involving a local priest accused of sexually molesting an altar boy in the mid-1980s.
Blaire, the church’s highest-ranking local official, confirmed certain facts about the diocese and a report of sex abuse made by the plaintiff’s father in 2006.
The plaintiff, a 37-year-old Fairfax man, said he recovered repressed memories that year, and said he remembered being groomed and raped by Kelly while he served at Cathedral of the Annunciation in Stockton.
Kelly was on the stand Tuesday and Wednesday.
