CONROE, Texas (AP) - A former Houston-area Roman Catholic priest has been indicted on three additional child indecency charges arising from child sex abuse allegations.
A Montgomery County grand jury indicted Manuel La Rosa-Lopez on Thursday.
Two of the counts are tied to accusations La Rosa-Lopez tried to put his hands down the pants of a male parishioner when he was a minor in 1999.
Tyler Dunman, chief of the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office Special Crimes Bureau, says the third count from Thursday involves a male victim who was a minor in June 2000.
Last month, La Rosa-Lopez was indicted on two other child indecency counts involving allegations the priest groped a woman when she was a teenager in 2000.
La Rosa-Lopez’s attorney, Wendell Odom, says his client denies any crimes took place.
