MONTGOMERY COUNTY, N.Y. -- A local priest is facing sex abuse charges after accusations he had inappropriate contact with several members of a family, who considered him their spiritual advisor.

Parents of the victims, who range from five to eleven years old, said John Broderick, 47, of Nicholville abused the children over the course of several months.
