A trial date was set in the case of the late Fr. David Holley, who allegedly sexually abused a victim in Alamogordo.
New Mexico Second Judicial District Judge Daniel Ramczyk set the jury trial date for the case as Dec. 13.
The complainant, listed as John Doe, allegedly was one of several of Holley’s victims in Alamogordo in the 1970s, court records state.
Doe filed a tort against several parishes, dioceses and the Servants of the Paraclete about their alleged involvement in the events leading to Holley being moved to Alamogordo in the 1970s.
Holley was sent to the Servants of the Paraclete facility in 1971.
Servants of the Paraclete had two New Mexico locations at the time, one in Albuquerque and one in Jemez Springs.
Holley was sent to the Albuquerque Servants of the Paraclete location to get help for “pedophilic tendencies: following allegations in Holley’s home diocese in Worcester, Massachusetts, records show.
Holley was at the Albuquerque location for about a year, according to a 1993 affidavit submitted by Holley to the Second Judicial Court in 1993.
