John Capparelli had a quiet life going in Henderson, Nevada, a bedroom community south of Las Vegas. “You never know who your neighbours are,” a local resident told Las Vegas’s Fox 5 this week. A Catholic priest from 1980 to 1992, Capparelli had been accused by at least two dozen men of sexual misconduct. The ex-priest’s death comes as dioceses nationwide begin to excavate decades of abuse allegations and coverups. “I always wanted him to be held accountable,” Fitter told 8 News NOW Las Vegas on Tuesday.
