A Stockton diocese priest has fled the country.
Prompting father Michael Kelly’s sudden departure to Ireland was his alleged involvement in a child molestation case.
Kelly was found liable in a civil trial on April 6th of three counts of child sex abuse involving a former altar boy in the mid-1980’s.
In a separate case, Kelly has been under criminal investigation since last September on allegations he molested an altar boy in a different diocese in the early 2000’s.
