NEW ORLEANS — A former Slidell priest who already faces child molestation charges was arrested Tuesday in a separate case.

Patrick Wattigny, who was arrested in 2020 and was out on bond awaiting trial on a count of molesting a 15-year-old boy starting in 2013, was booked by the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office for allegedly molesting another boy. The timeframe of that alleged molestation was not immediately disclosed.
