PSWICH, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – There are more abuse allegations against a Roman Catholic priest who is already accused of abusing a young boy in Ipswich. The Salem News says Rev. Richard McCormack has been indicted on additional counts of child sex abuse. Last year, McCormack was charged with abusing a young boy in the early 1980s. That's when McCormack worked at the Salesian Brothers' Sacred Heart retreat center and seminary in Ipswich. FOX 25 covered that story. A second victim has reportedly now come forward to prosecutors after McCormack's arrest. He claims he was abused between 1981 and 1983 when he was 9 years old. McCormack is the former head of the religious order that runs the center. In 2009, that order settled abuse claims with three men who claim McCormack abused them when he worked at a seminary on Long Island. He remains a priest, but is now being treated at a facility in Missouri which treats pedophile priests.
