A man who accuses Paul Shanley of sexually abusing him as a child says the now-retired Roman Catholic priest raped him in a church confessional. The alleged abuse, authorities said Thursday, took place "almost on a weekly basis." Shanley, 71, was arrested Thursday morning by San Diego, California, police -- the same police force with whom he had once done volunteer work. Shanley has been charged with three counts of raping a child with force. Authorities said he would be extradited to Newton, Massachusetts, where the alleged abuse occurred. He also was to be arraigned in San Diego on a fugitive complaint.
