	DeLuca to Face Charges in Delaware News 10 Now January 24, 2008 http://news10now.com/content/top_stories/109267/deluca-to-face-charges-in-delaware/Default.aspx SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A former priest who spent 60 days in jail for sexually abusing a teenage boy in Syracuse will not have similar charges thrown out in Delaware. A federal judge in Wilmington has rejected a motion to dismiss a lawsuit against Francis DeLuca. DeLuca is accused of sexually abusing a boy in Delaware more than 300 times between 1968 and 1975. His attorneys had argued that the U.S. District Court did not have jurisdiction in the case, however, the judge ruled that the law did not prohibit the federal court from hearing the case. DeLuca was dismissed from public ministry in Delaware in 1993 after the allegations surfaced.
