	More Sexual Misconduct Claims against Mesa Priest KTAR October 15, 2011 http://ktar.com/category/local-news-articles/20111015/More-sexual-misconduct-claims-against-Mesa-priest/ PHOENIX -- Two new claims of sexual misconduct have been lodged against the suspended pastor of a Mesa parish. Officials with the Diocese of Phoenix say they've deemed both allegations as credible against the Rev. John "Jack" Spaulding. That makes four claims against the 67-year-old clergyman, who's been a priest for four decades. He was suspended in late June after the initial allegation. The Arizona Republic says all of the accusers allege Spaulding abused them when they were between 10 to 13 years old. None have taken their cases to court thus far. The incidents allegedly took place during Spaulding's assignments to three parishes- St. Maria Goretti in Scottsdale, and Our Lady of Perpetual Help and St. Helen in Glendale. Spaulding's attorney didn't immediately return a call for comment Saturday.
