FORMER PRIEST, TEACHER ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ABUSING CHILDREN IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE
A former priest and a former teacher are facing charges for the alleged sexual abuse of children decades ago.
WILMINGTON, Del. (WPVI) -- A former priest and a former teacher are facing charges for the alleged sexual abuse of children decades ago.
Prosecutors in Delaware say 80-year-old John Taggart was a priest and 57-year-old Christopher Crisona was a teacher at Saint Thomas the Apostle church in Wilmington.
That's where the alleged abuse took place between 1994 and 1996.
Police say both men sexually abused a victim repeatedly during the victim's 7th and 8th grade years.
Taggart was transferred to another church the year after the alleged crimes.
Crisona was removed mid-year following a student complaint but would go on to work at three different religious establishments.
Another priest was also indicted in the criminal complaint, but he has since passed away.
