FALL RIVER, Mass. -- A priest accused of molesting a young girl beginning when she was 9 years old is expected to plead guilty Friday.
The alleged abuse by the Rev. Donald Bowen took place between 1965 and 1971 while he served at St. Mary's parish in Norton, Mass.
Bowen is scheduled to appear in Bristol County Superior Court in Fall River.
The statute of limitations doesn't apply to Bowen's case because he left the state for decades. He was located in Bolivia in 2002 after charges were filed against him.
