EAST WINDSOR, CT (WFSB) –
A priest, who is currently on leave from his church, was arraigned Monday afternoon on multiple charges of sexual assault.
Father Paul Gotta, 55, was arrested and charged with two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault and five counts of fourth-degree sexual assault.
According to court documents, the alleged assaults involved a minor and took place in South Windsor over the course of about a year. The assaults started in January 2012.
Gotta is the same priest connected to an investigation into an alleged threat against a school by a local teenager.
Gotta was connected to 18-year-old Kyle Bass, who allegedly made threats against the Metropolitan Learning Center in Bloomfield.
