Washington, Jan 14 (Prensa Latina) Arrested U.S. priest Neil Doherty, pastor at St. Vincent Catholic Church, appears in a Florida court today to respond for criminal charges related to sexual abuse of some kids.
His attorney expects that Doherty accepts an extra-judicial agreement at the Broward county Court and pleads guilty of multiple sexual molestation crimes, lust acts in front of infants and sexual assault to numerous victims under 12 years old.
Doherty, 69, remains in that county’s prison without a right to bail for sexually assaulting a boy.
His name also appears in 20 lawsuits for the same crime from 1970 to 2002, while in 2011, the Miami Archdiocese compensated one of his victims with 100 million USD.
