	Church: Allegation against Priest Lacks Corroboration By Tampa Pensacola Sun-Sentinel [Fort Lauderdale FL] June 1, 1997 Church investigators have been unable to corroborate a prison inmate's accusation that he was molested by a Roman Catholic priest when he was a teen-ager. But the investigation of the Rev. Richard Castillo will remain open in case others step forward with information, the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee said on Friday. Richard Watts, 24, of Pensacola accused Castillo in April of performing oral sex on him when he got drunk and passed out during a party at the priest's Pensacola Beach home seven years ago. Castillo, 43, denied the allegation and was put on leave from his parish in Quincy, a Florida Panhandle town near Tallahassee.
