VA Catholic Priest Gets Six Years On Child Sex Charges

Washington DC’s CBS affiliate reports:

A former Loudoun County Catholic priest has been sentenced to eight years in prison for the sexual abuse of a 14-year-old child. Police say the abuse occurred in 1985 when Scott Asalone, now 66, was 29 and the victim was 14. In addition to his sentence, Asalone is required to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life and to have no contact with the victim.

Detectives say Asalone was indicted in March 2020, arrested in New Jersey and extradited to Virginia. He remained on bond pending trial. On December 12, 2022, Asalone pleaded guilty under the Alford rule in Loudon County Circuit Court to felony carnal knowledge of a minor between 13 and 15 years old.
