Sued again: Alejandro Jose Castillo, 58, Roman Catholic priest and former pastor, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, Ontario, California, who in April was released from jail after eight months following his conviction for sexually abusing a 12-year-old male parishioner; by a different boy. The Press-Enterprise reports: “The civil suit filed Monday, Sept. 18, in San Bernardino County Superior Court alleges that in 2003 and 2004, Castillo also repeatedly sexually abused a teenaged boy in the same parish. The parish, the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Bernardino, and the Riverside-based Western Province of the Society of the Divine Word, an order of priests and brothers, are also named in the suit. They are accused of negligence for not doing enough to protect the boy.” Police believe Castillo may have molested other victims in incidents dating back to the 1970s.
