A civil lawsuit says a former priest at All Saints Church convicted in 2000 of raping a 15-year-old girl also sexually assaulted a 5-year-old girl a decade and a half ago.
The suit, being brought against the Archdiocese of Boston, says former priest Kelvin Iguabita assaulted the younger girl from 1999 to 2001. The suit says the victim is now 21.
Iguabita was sentenced to 12 to 14 years in prison in 2003 for raping the 15-year-old girl in the All Saints Church rectory. Iguabita was defrocked, or thrown out of the priesthood. He is now 45, has served his jail sentence and is free.
In the civil complaint involving the younger girl, Boston attorney Mitchell Garabedian said two priests from the Archdiocese failed to properly supervise Iguabita, which allowed him to become a threat to the younger girl. The complaint identifies those priests as the Rev. William Murphy, currently bishop of Rockville Centre in Long Island, N.Y., who was the first assistant to Cardinal Bernard Law; and the Rev. Paul Miceli, currently dean of seminarians at the John XXIII Seminary in Weston and former secretary of ministerial personnel under Cardinal Law.
