IPSWICH, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – There are more abuse allegations against a Roman Catholic priest who is already accused of abusing a young boy in Ipswich.

The Salem News says Rev. Richard McCormack has been indicted on additional counts of child sex abuse.

Last year, McCormack was charged with abusing a young boy in the early 1980s. That’s when McCormack worked at the Salesian Brothers’ Sacred Heart retreat center and seminary in Ipswich. FOX 25 covered that story.

A second victim has reportedly now come forward to prosecutors after McCormack’s arrest. He claims he was abused between 1981 and 1983 when he was 9 years old.
