The Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport recently released documents that allege that a Connecticut priest accused of molesting children had taken a group of children to a vacation home in Washington, New Hampshire during the 1970's, reports the Union Leader. The priest, Reverend Raymond Pcolka, is the accused in a civil suit claiming that he molested children in his residence, in the Church rectories and in his vacation home in the state of New Hampshire during the 60's and 70's. The documents released by the Bridgeport Diocese apparently support this claim. Pcolka had been removed from the ministry in 1993 when the first of 23 victims alleging child abuse filed suit against the Church. This case was settled in 2001, and the documents remained sealed until recently. There may be other undiscovered victims of this alleged pedophile priest in the New Hampshire area that were victimized during the visits to the N.H. vacation home. The Manchester Diocese made a statement that no priest named Pcolka had ever been assigned to one of their parishes, but it is possible that victims in New Hampshire have not yet come forward.
