‘PERV’ PRIEST WAS KNOWN AS ABUSER

Francis DeLuca, a 77 year old former Catholic priest, was accused last week of sexually abusing a boy five or six years ago.  DeLuca had been barred from the ministry in 1993 after his former diocese in Delaware found he had abused about three or four children there.  He is now charged with sexual abuse of a boy who was 12 or 13 at the time.  He is now 18.
