FORT MYERS, FL –
New allegations came to light Tuesday against a former Catholic priest in Fort Myers.
The church found him guilty of sexually abusing a boy and now he’s accused of inappropriate behavior with other children.
A first victim stepped forward in 2008, saying Ronald Joseph abused him when he was just 16-years-old at Saint Francis Xavier near downtown Fort Myers.
Diocese leaders conducted their own investigation and removed him from the church – we discovered new information that reveals there could be other victims.
Once again all eyes are on Saint Francis Xaiver Catholic Church in Fort Myers.
Nearly six years ago the church was under scrutiny after allegations of sexual abuse first surfaced. They revolved around Rev. Jean Ronald Joseph.
