	Priest Formerly Charged with Abuse Dies By Bryce Mursch WIS September 12, 2006 http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=5396089 (Charleston-AP) September 12, 2006 - A retired Roman Catholic priest who had faced sexual abuse charges for allegedly fondling young women in Charleston has died at age 81. The Reverend Raymond DuMouchel died Sunday. DuMouchel denied the sexual assaults from 50 years ago. He was not tried because of medical problems, including dementia. Prosecutors dropped the criminal charges last year after doctors determined that he would be unable to participate in his own defense. DuMouchel was originally charged in 2002. He was accused of fondling a a 12-year-old girl in 1955 at the Cathedral Grammar School. Another woman accused him of fondling her at the former St. Francis Xavier Hospital in Charleston when she was 17 or 18. A third woman accused DuMouchel of fondling her at the hospital in 1957. bmursch@wistv.com
