Priest facing extradition worked as a counselor
SOUTH BEND The attorney for an 81-year-old Roman Catholic priest who faces possible extradition to Ireland says the clergyman moved to the South Bend area in 1990 to take a job counseling drug and alcohol abusers.
The Rev. Francis Markey was arrested this week at his South Bend home and faces possible extradition to Ireland on charges that he raped a teenage boy there in 1968.
Bob Truitt is a staff attorney with Federal Community Defenders and represents the priest. Truitt says Markey moved to the area in 1990.
