Another victim steps forward accusing a former Lake Charles priest of more sex crimes.

The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office says after more than 20-years of silence, a second victim has told detectives his story.

Mark A. Broussard served with the Diocese of Lake Charles with at least three different churches until 1994 when he resigned from the priesthood. He now faces 100 counts of sexual battery and another 40 counts of aggravated rape in addition to more charges from a separate victim.

“These incidents were documented but never reported to law enforcement,” Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Tony Macuso said.

The Sheriff says Broussard sexually abused a total of four children in the late 80’s and early 90’s and each of these cases was documented by the Diocese of Lake Charles.
