Father Michael Kelly denies clergy abuse allegations

Posted: Friday, September 14, 2012 12:00 am | Updated: 1:46 pm, Fri Sep 14, 2012.

Former Lockeford priest Michael Kelly says that he did not sexually abuse a 12-year-old former altar boy in about 2000.

"I am completely and totally innocent of these allegations; they are utterly untrue," Kelly said in an email to the News-Sentinel from his native Ireland. "Never, ever, did I do anything of the sort to the plaintiff, or to anyone else, for that matter."
