The incident occurred in 1985 when Asalone was 29 and the victim was 14. According to court documents, “Asalone was removed from public duties in 1993 and dismissed from the Order of Capuchin Friars in 2007.”
Asalone was initially arrested in New Jersey March 2020 and plead guilty after being extradited to Virginia in December 2022.
