	Lawsuit Targets Priest Previously Accused of Sexual Misconduct Associated Press, carried in Boston Globe September 25, 2007 http://www.boston.com/news/local/maine/articles/2007/09/25/ lawsuit_targets_priest_previously_accused_of_sexual_misconduct/ Augusta, Maine — A former altar boy who claims he was sexually abused by a Roman Catholic priest in Maine is suing in Kennebec County Superior Court. Steven Boyden, who now lives in Georgia, targeted the former priest, Ronald Michaud, who's believed to live in Kennebec County, as well as Bishop Richard Malone. Boyden, who's 37, contends the abuse happened in the mid-1980s when he was 16 and living in Windham. Michaud is accused of molesting the teen while serving at St. Hyacinth's Church in Westbrook and again after being transferred to Aroostook County. He contends the diocese transferred Michaud despite knowing about possible abuse. The diocese contends it didn't learn of abuse until several year later.
