	Hearing Set over for Priest Accused of Child Sex WRCB February 3, 2011 http://www.wrcbtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=13956117 A scheduled motions hearing for a former Catholic priest accused of molesting a boy has been put off in Blountville. The Kingsport Times-News reports the hearing for William Casey was continued on Wednesday until Feb. 24. The 76-year-old Casey faces aggravated rape and first-degree sexual misconduct charges, to which he has pleaded not guilty. Warren Tucker of Jeffersonville, Ind. - who has gone public with his claims against Casey - says his abuse began when he was 10 years old and lasted for five years. During that time, Casey was a priest at St. Dominic's Catholic Church in Kingsport in the 1970s. Casey had retired from Notre Dame Parish in Greeneville by the time Tucker came forward in April. Casey has been suspended from ministry, and a process to dismiss him from the priesthood is under way. Information from: Kingsport Times-News, http://www.timesnews.net
