Lawsuit alleges abuse by Lockeford priest
A lawsuit alleges that in the 1980s, Father Michael Kelly, the parish priest in Lockeford, abused a young boy who is now serving with the U.S. military.
The suit filed in San Joaquin County Superior Court on Wednesday alleges the abuse began when the boy was 7 and lasted until he was 11 during a period from 1982 to 1985. It alleges that Kelly was a priest at Stockton's Cathedral of the Annunciation at the time.
The Stockton Diocese reinstated Kelly to his post in Lockeford after a diocese investigation found no evidence of the alleged abuse.
A call to the diocese's communications staff was not immediately returned Friday.
Vince Finaldi, an attorney with the firm that filed the lawsuit -- Newport Beach based Manly and Stewart -- said it was "reprehensible" that the church would allow Kelly to rejoin his parish.

Other states need to do some serious study of Delaware's new legislation and get on board with protecting all children, not only in the present and future, but also those past victims of childhood sexual abuse by any sexual predators, abusers, pedophiles or rapists.
IT IS A LAW WHOSE TIME HAS COME! "

We are aware than the USCCB's pledge of openness and honesty were hollow words. "

The District Attorney's office or the police would be a good first step.
It is bad enough that the bishops of the United States have failed so miserably to follow their own Canon Law in regard to sexual abuse let alone the law of the land.
Why are these predatory individuals still in ministry? Still priests? "
