Delaware has for the first time brought criminal child molestation charges against a Catholic priest.

A grand jury on Monday indicted 76-year-old John A. Sarro in the rape of a child more than 25 years ago. He’s charged with first-degree unlawful sexual intercourse and second-degree unlawful sexual contact. He’s accused of having oral sex with a girl younger than 16 in the 1990s.
