FORT WORTH, Texas — A former priest accused of sexually abusing children in two states is HIV-positive, Catholic diocese officials said Thursday.
Church officials said they believe the Rev. Philip A. Magaldi has been HIV-positive since 2003, but they learned of it only last week. The diocese alerted the alleged victims — at least five minors in two states — and the parishes where Magaldi served for nearly four decades, a spokesman said.
Magaldi, 71, lives in a retirement center, and diocesan officials declined to disclose where. He has previously said he was innocent of the sexual abuse allegations, for which he has not been charged.
