STOCKTON — The plaintiff in the Michael Kelly civil trial, who said in previous testimony that he was sexually assaulted and fondled while he was in fifth grade in the 1980s, testified on Wednesday that he wasn’t sure what grade he was in when some of the alleged incidents took place.
The former Stockton altar boy also refuted statements by clinical psychologist Amy Charney, who testified he told her that Kelly sexually assaulted her in fourth grade.
During cross examination, Stockton Diocese attorney Jim Goodman showed videotapes of two depositions the plaintiff gave in 2009 in an effort to show inconsistencies between what the plaintiff said during the depositions and what he said on the witness stand Wednesday and last Friday.
Not every incident may have happened in fifth grade, the plaintiff said Wednesday. Some of the incidents may have taken place as late as seventh or eighth grade.
