LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) — The attorneys for a former Calcasieu Parish priest accused of molesting young parishioners are asking a judge to stop prosecutors from telling a jury about allegations of other crimes.
Mark Anthony Broussard is to stand trial Sept. 21 on five counts that he molested and raped boys while serving as a parish priest between 1986 and 1991.
Broussard was originally charged with 224 counts of child sexual abuse, but some charges involving one of the boys were too old to prosecute.
