CINCINNATI – A man testified Wednesday that Rev. Robert Poandl sodomized him in a church rectory when he was 10 years old and he later plotted to kill the priest and commit suicide.
Testifying in federal court, the accuser, now 32, said he was haunted by nightmares, experimented with LSD and cocaine while in school and later became addicted to Oxycodone.
He said Poandl “screwed up my life by raping me.”
“I wanted to go and kill him, punish him for what he’s done,” the accuser said.
