Three more people testified in the Michael Kelly civil sexual abuse trial Friday, with two of them saying that he touched children inappropriately.
However, there was no indication by witnesses whether any incidents were sexual in nature.
A man who grew up in Modesto, whose name was withheld by the court, testified about Kelly roughhousing in the family swimming pool and touching the man in an inappropriate location when the witness was a boy. The man was identified only as John C.D. Doe.
“It hurt a little bit,” the witness said. “It was a little bit rough, maybe too intimate.”
Kelly faces a clergy sexual abuse lawsuit filed by a 37-year-old man whose name was released in court on Thursday, but Judge Bob McNatt ruled on Friday that the plaintiff’s name not be released. Court records show the plaintiff’s name as John T.Z. Doe.
