MIAMI (WSVN) – A South Florida priest who is awaiting trial on sexual abuse, is now facing new accusations.

Dennis Montero, who did not want to show his face on camera, is speaking out and claims Father Neil Doherty drugged and raped him when he was a child.

Montero explained why he stayed silent until now. “Being raped by a man is not something you tell your friends or your mom or anybody else. That’s not something you do. At least, not where I came from,” said Montero.

In a recently filed lawsuit, Montero and his attorney claimed Father Doherty used drugs, alcohol and money to take advantage of a young boy from a poor family.
