SAN JOSE, Calif. — A man who says he was molested more than 30 years ago by a priest was arrested yesterday on charges that he lured the clergyman to the lobby of a Jesuit retirement home and beat him in front of shocked witnesses, authorities said.
William Lynch, 43, was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon for the May 10 attack that sent the Rev. Jerold Lindner to the hospital with cuts and bruises, said Sgt. Rick Sung, Santa Clara County sheriff’s spokesman.
Lynch and his younger brother settled with the Jesuits of the California Province, a Roman Catholic religious order, for $625,000 in 1998 after alleging that Lindner abused them in 1975 during weekend camping trips in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Lindner has been accused of abuse by nearly 12 people, including his own sister and nieces and nephews. Lindner, now 65, has denied abusing the Lynch boys and has not been criminally charged. The case falls outside the statute of limitations.
