A former altar boy, now a man of 34, alleges in lawsuits that three priests at St. Jude Parish in Alamogordo molested him for years, the Alamogordo Daily News reported.
Plaintiff Eran Joseph McManemy also claims in his lawsuit that church officials knew that one of the priests had been sexually abusing boys since the 1960s but did nothing to stop him, the Daily News said.
That priest, the Rev. David Holley, left a long trail of molestations at churches from Worcester, Mass., to parishes in New Mexico and Texas, the paper reported.
Holley was sentenced in 1993 to 275 years in prison for sodomizing and molesting eight other boys in Alamogordo, the Daily News said. He died in prison in 2008 at the age of 80.
