Guardian Unlimited | World Latest | Texas Priest Accused of Groping Teen: "December 20, 2005 5:31 AM

MARBLE FALLS, Texas (AP) - A Roman Catholic priest accused of groping a 16-year-old boy at a movie theater during a showing of ``King Kong'' has been charged with indecency with a child by sexual contact.

Father Paul M. Clogan, 74, was arrested Friday as he left the theater, police Capt. F.T. Goodwin said in Monday's online edition of the Austin American-Statesman. Clogan was free on bond Monday.

Clogan sat next to the teen in the theater, Goodwin said. The boy, who did not know Clogan, told investigators the priest groped him about an hour after the movie started."
