An advocate for victims of clergy sex abuse says a recently uncovered
letter shows the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland church knew for
years about allegations against a parish priest but did nothing to
protect potential young victims.
The letter mentions allegations against the Rev. James Vallely, who served in St. John’s Parish in Bangor and was later transferred to St. Dominic’s Parish in Portland and to St. Michael’s Parish in South Berwick. He was working with a church in Florida when he was removed from active ministry following allegations of abuse. He has since died.
