PORTLAND — The Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland is investigating a retired Maine priest for “reported incidents” of abuse between 1982 and 1986, according to a press release distributed by the church on Saturday.
The church doesn’t elaborate on the incidents, but retired Father Antonin “Tony” Caron has a history of disciplnary and legal troubles.
In March 2000, the church suspended Caron for several months for his involvement with a now-defunct website for gay clergymen.
In 1993, he was brought to trial and acquitted of sexually assaulting a woman.
