FORT ATKINSON, Wis. – Parishioners in Fort Atkinson used the words “disbelief” and “shock” on Friday to describe their reactions to allegations that a former priest from their area sexually abused a teenage boy.
“Our kids are kind of heartbroken because it’s somebody — it’s almost like a teacher — someone that you trust and you’ve been taught that you could go to,” said Brenda Ciske, who attends St. Joseph’s Catholic Church.
William Nolan, 64, is facing felony counts after he allegedly sexually assaulted a boy in Fort Atkinson for years, according to documents filed in court Thursday.
According to the criminal complaint, more than 100 assaults took place between February 2006 and the summer of 2010, when the boy was 13 to 17 years old.
