Retired O.C. Priest Charged with Molesting Boy Los Angeles Times July 21, 2009 http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/07/retired-oc-priest-charged-with-molesting-boy-.html A retired Roman Catholic priest from Orange County who escaped prosecution six years ago on suspicion of molesting a teenage boy has been charged with allegedly molesting another boy in the 1990s. Denis Lyons, 75, of Seal Beach, was arrested Monday afternoon while playing cards at a community center near his home in the Leisure World retirement community, prosecutors said today. Lyons faces four felony counts of lewd acts on a child younger than 14 and a sentencing enhancement for substantial sexual conduct with a child, which would make him eligible for a mandatory prison sentence. According to prosecutors, the abuse happened between 1992 and 1995 while Lyons was at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Costa Mesa. |
