In this file photo taken on November 10, 2002, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick prays during a prayer for deceased bishop at the start of the morning session of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, DC. has been charged with sexually assaulting a teenage boy, court documents have showed, making him the most senior Roman Catholic official in America to face criminal charges in the massive clergy abuse scandal.
He had been found guilty by the Vatican of sexually abusing at least one teenage boy in the 1970s and of sexual misconduct with adult male seminarians. The Vatican admitted last November that late pope John Paul II ignored advice against promoting McCarrick over the sexual assault rumours that were later substantiated.Prosecutors allege that McCarrick groped the victim when he was 16 in 1974 as they walked around the campus of Wellesley College in Massachusetts during his brother's wedding reception.
The man's lawyer, Mitchell Garabedian, said his client was "showing an enormous amount of courage" by bringing the complaint.
