Ex-Chaplain Faces Molestation Charges
From Times Wire Reports
Msgr. John P. Heaney, longtime chaplain for the San Francisco Police Department, faces felony charges that he molested two brothers 40 years ago.
Heaney was relieved of duty last summer. He was indicted Thursday on multiple felony counts. Mark MacNamara, spokesman for the district attorney’s office, refused to comment.
The indictment was expected to be unsealed after Heaney’s arrest. His lawyer, Jim Collins, said the retired priest would turn himself in next week.
