Several new possible victims and witnesses have been interviewed by police who are expanding their investigation into allegations of sexual abuse against a former Germantown priest.
Lt. Eric Burnett, spokesman for Montgomery County police, said detectives have received more information in recent weeks regarding allegations against the Rev. Aaron Joseph Cote, 54, a former associate pastor and youth minister at Mother Seton Parish in Germantown.
‘‘Based on the information they’ve obtained, they’re interviewing other witnesses and other possible victims,” Burnett told The Gazette Tuesday.
