A former priest denies accusations he sexually assaulted a girl. Stephen Tarlton Dougherty, 59, appeared before a Bee County judge
Thursday after a grand jury last month indicted him on a first degree
felony of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Dougherty and his lawyer, John Pinckney of San Antonio, declined to comment outside the courtroom but referred to a court document in which the former priest and philanthropist pleaded not guilty.
