STOCKTON – A Fairfax man who said he was sexually molested as a child by the Rev. Michael Kelly, a popular Lockeford priest, continued his courtroom testimony Friday describing the abuse in a still-unfolding civil case.
The 37-year-old former military man, who had served as an altar boy under Kelly’s direction at Stockton’s Cathedral of the Annunciation more than 20 years ago, is suing the priest and Bishop Stephen Blaire of the Diocese of Stockton as a way to seek justice, he said.
Identified in court papers as John TZ Doe, the plaintiff said he tried filing criminal charges.
