Parishioner faces molestation charges in Blue Ridge

By
BLUE RIDGE - A 75-year-old parishioner at a Catholic church in north Georgia has been arrested on charges of molesting a 13-year-old boy. <br> <br> Fannin County Sheriff George Ensley says authorities arrested Leonard Boymer Saturday. He says the man was arrested after officials at St. <br> <br> Anthony&#39;s Catholic Church at Blue Ridge told authorities he molested the boy, a member of the church. <br> <br> The sheriff says the alleged assaults took place more than once at the man&#39;s home. <br> <br> The boy is at an Atlanta hospital undergoing physical and psychological tests. <br> <br> The Reverend Chris Williamson says the boy&#39;s mother feels betrayed because she invited the man home for dinner at least twice, considering him to be ``a lonely old bachelor.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The sheriff says investigators found pornographic materials at Boymer&#39;s home.
