A second alleged victim has come forward to testify against former priest Mark Broussard, who appeared again in court Tuesday morning for trial on molestation charges stemming from the 1980s.
Broussard was living in Duson when he was arrested in 2012 on rape and battery charges after a letter surfaced in late 2011 alleging that the former priest had sexually abused a Calcasieu Parish man as a child.
So far, two alleged victims have taken the stand claiming Broussard sexually abused each of them when he was their priest in Lake Charles.
The first victim sparked the investigation and trial when he wrote a letter to the bishop with molestation accusations. That victim testified about his experiences on the first day of the trial.
Tuesday, a separate victim, who attended a different school and church, testified that Broussard also touched him inappropriately as a child.
The second victim told the court that the former priest molested him at least three or four times a week for more than three years.
