PROVIDENCE, R.I. —
A Providence church leader is accused of molesting a boy for several years.
Providence police said Wednesday that a 21-year-old man came forward last week, claiming Roy Bolden molested him while Bolden was a leader of the Legions of Christ Ministries in Providence.
Police said the Providence man accused Bolden, 33, of molesting him when he was 12 years old and didn’t stop until he was an adult.
“The last incident was when he was 18-years-old,” said Providence Police Sgt. Philip Hartnett of the Special Victim’s Unit. “So he’s been — for the last three years — he’s just been sitting on this and finally he felt the need to come forward.”
