A Louisiana man accusing a Roman Catholic priest of molesting him as a child has spoken out against what he says is an overly lenient sentence being offered to the defendant in exchange for a guilty plea.

The accuser, 24, is pressing a criminal case against Patrick Wattigny, who worked as a chaplain at the alleged victim’s high school and was charged with abuse against him in 2013.

Wattigny, 56, is considering pleading guilty to a single count of molestation of a juvenile in exchange for three years in prison, according to what the accuser says has been communicated to him by the suburban New Orleans-area district attorney’s office handling the case.
