Man who trained at Cobb County Catholic church accused of molestation

MARIETTA - A man who trained at a Catholic church in Cobb County has been arrested in Polk County, Florida. <br> <br> Forty-three-year-old Kenneth Cassity of Auburndale, Florida, was arrested yesterday. Cobb County detectives have filed warrants charging him with two counts of child molestation and four counts of sexual battery. <br> <br> Cassity is charged with sexually violating three boys, between ages 14 and 16, between July 1999 and December 2000 at the rectory of Saint Ann Catholic Church. <br> <br> His role at the church is unclear. The warrant refers to him as a seminary student based on what one of the alleged victims told police. <br> <br> But St. Ann&#39;s associate pastor -- the Reverend Raymond Cadran -- told reporters that Cassity was a lay person at the church and that he was asked to leave because he did not ``fit in.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The Marietta Daily Journal reports today that a parent of one of the victims sent a letter to the church, which was ignored. The parent then sent another letter to the Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta, which forwarded it to Cobb County authorities. <br> <br> Police spokesman Dana Pierce says Cassity was asked to leave the Marietta church in August 2000. <br> <br> Cassity was arrested after a man came forward Monday with information about an incident that happened in late 1999 when Cassity was working at the church.
