WOODBURN, Ore. – The Woodburn priest accused of sexually abusing a 12-year-old boy now has a prominent lawyer in his corner.

Angel Perez has hired attorney Marc Blackman and the Archdiocese of Portland has made him an open-ended loan to pay for the legal fees according to The Oregonian.

Perez was arrested earlier this week after a 12-year-old boy told police that Perez had fondled him.
