STOCKTON, Calif.—There are new child sex allegations against a former California priest.
A San Joaquin County lawsuit filed on Tuesday says Michael Kelly sexually abused a 12-year-old boy in the 1980s when he was a priest at St. Andrews Church in San Andreas.

Five months ago, a Stockton civil jury found Kelly liable for the molestation of an altar boy when he was a priest at Cathedral of Annunciation in Stockton in the 1980s.

The Catholic Diocese of Stockton paid nearly $4 million to settle that suit.
