	Lockeford Priest Accused of Sexual Abuse Fox 40 October 11, 2007 http://fox40.trb.com/news/ktxl-101107priest,0,7206243.story?coll=ktxl-news-1 LOCKEFORD …amp;quot; The Roman Catholic Diocese of Stockton has placed a priest on administrative leave amid allegations that he sexually abused a boy in the 1980s. The Rev. Michael Kelly was a priest at the Cathedral of the Annunciation in Stockton when the alleged abuse occurred from 1984 to 1986. Most recently the 56-year-old has presided at St. Joachim's Church in Lockeford. The alleged victim is now 33 years old. Diocese officials say Kelly will remain on leave while the matter is being investigated. The priest's lawyer, Albert Ellis, says his client "emphatically denies" the abuse and intends to fight the allegations.
