A former Valley priest has been indicted on charges including sexual conduct with a minor.
This week, a Maricopa County Grand Jury charged Father John “Jack” Dallas Spaulding, 74, with six counts of sexual misconduct with a minor and one count of molestation of a child. He is accused of sexually abusing two boys, who were under the age of 15, between the years of 2003 and 2007.
During that timespan, Spaulding was a Priest at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church in Phoenix and St. Timothy’s in Mesa.
Back in 2011, Spaulding was suspended after allegations of sexual misconduct with a minor were deemed credible, according to the Diocese of Phoenix.
