A former youth minister at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Shreveport is accused of inappropriately touching girls ages 15 and 16 when he worked at the church at Patton at Anniston avenues in 2003 and 2004, police said.
And investigators believe there may be more victims out there, Caddo Assistant District Attorney Hugo Holland said.
Antonio J. Rizzo, 30, of Lafayette was arrested in Lafayette and brought back to Shreveport late Tuesday, where he was booked into Caddo Correctional Center on two counts of molestation of a juvenile, police spokeswoman Kacee Hargrave said. His bond is set at $70,000.
This is not the first time Rizzo has caught the attention of law enforcement. In March 2004, he was arrested on three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile for allegedly giving alcoholic beverages to teen girls and making sexual advances toward them.
