The Diocese of Madison says that they’ve received a second credible sexual abuse allegation against a former priest, according to an announcement Friday.

Bishop Donald Hying says they’ve determined that a second allegation of sexual abuse brought against Rev. Patrick Doherty has “the semblance of truth.”

This comes after the Diocese announced another credible sexual abuse allegation against the former priest on January 17.
