A retired Roman Catholic priest from Orange County who escaped prosecution six years ago for allegedly molesting a teenage boy has been arrested on suspicion of molesting another boy in the 1990s, authorities said Tuesday.
Denis Lyons, 75, of Seal Beach was arrested Monday afternoon while he was playing cards at a community center near his home in the Leisure World retirement community, prosecutors said.
Another pedophile for the holy collection.

A spokesman for the diocese said Tuesday that Lyons was removed from ministry in 2002 and “was committed to a life of prayer and penance.”
Was the “committed to a life of prayer and penance” really necessary or even accurate? How can a spokesman speak about what a pedophile has done for the past seven years?
What a joke. Just say he left the ministry. Don’t patronize people by saying that only after raping boys is he now a humble, penantent man.
