One of the few catholic priests to have ever been defrocked because of sexual abuse began his career as a father right here in southeast Idaho.
Nightside reporter Ty Perry has more.

Father John Cornelius has been accused of sexually abusing over 20 young men. And in the early 70's, Cornelius was part of the seminarian right here in Idaho Falls.

With more than 20 different charges of sexual abuse John Cornelius is facing, at least one comes from Idaho Falls.
