The Press-Enterprise in Southern California reports that a one-time personal aide to former San Bernardino Diocese Bishop Phillip F. Straling who was alleged to possess stigmata now stands accused of molesting six teenage boys, according to lawsuits filed in Los Angeles County.
"Jesus 'Jesse' A. Dominguez is accused in the litigation of sexually abusing three altar boys while he worked at Our Lady of Soledad Church in Coachella in the mid 1980s," reports the newspaper. "He is also accused of molesting three boys at a Los Angeles County Catholic school during the 1970s, according to the three lawsuits."
Known as Father Jesse, Dominguez, now 55, was the subject of a stigmata investigation in 1984 after blood reportedly appeared on his hands during a Mass at St. Edward Catholic Church in Corona.
