OCEAN CITY — Ocean City Police have brought child abuse and sex offense charges against a former priest, dating to an encounter with a teenage boy in the resort more than 30 years ago.
Bruno Michael Tucci, now 70, is alleged to have fondled a 15-year-old boy while on an excursion to Ocean City in August 1981. Because there is no statute of limitations on child abuse in Maryland, Tucci can still be brought up on charges.
According to court documents, Tucci allegedly inappropriately tickled and put his hands up the boy’s shorts while they were staying at the Tides Motel. A short time later, Tucci excused himself and went into the bathroom and closed the bathroom door.
