While we never heard of anything like that in our church/school, my wife's church/school had one that was caught. And when our kids went to that same school, another priest came in and immediately stopped all girls from being alter servers. Said only the boys could do it. Used the reasoning that their mission is to drive men to the priesthood, and the girls always took over and ran things and the boys lost interest.( From my personal experiences, it was more like the boys found the priests creepy and wanted nothing to do with it. ) That priest was only at our school a few years, got moved again, and came up on 'the list'. As far as I know, all that happened to him was he was removed from duties and is retired somewhere, never prosecuted.I went to Catholic school for 8 yrs, was an altar boy etc and never heard anything like that. And our church had a priest who was convicted of molesting kids! It can be something the congregation has no clue about. We also had a lay teacher/BB coach who hooked up with an 8th grade girl, my sister's best friend, and her mother was a lay teacher there. Insane.
