Irish priest could face extradition on rape charge

The lawyer for an 81-year-old Roman Catholic priest who faces possible extradition to Ireland said the clergyman moved to the South Bend area of Indiana in 1990 to take a job counselling drug and alcohol abusers.

The Reverend Francis Markey was arrested this week at his South Bend home and faces possible extradition to Ireland on charges that he raped a teenage boy here in 1968.
