ST. LOUIS • A retired Roman Catholic priest who has previously been accused of sexual abuse is facing new allegations.
The Archdiocese of St. Louis is informing the region’s Catholic community that a new allegation was recently reported against the Rev. Thomas J. Graham. The alleged abuse occurred in the 1980s St. Alban Roe Catholic Church in Wildwood.
According to a statement from the archdiocese, Graham is already on permanent administrative leave which prohibits him from engaging in ministry.
In 2005 Graham was convicted for allegedly engaging in oral sex with a teenager at the Old Cathedral downtown in the 1970s. He was sentenced to 20 years.
