ST. TAMMANY PARISH - A priest who was arrested in 2020 was arrested again Tuesday after a second victim came forward and alleged sexual abuse. 

According to the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office, a victim who is now an adult claims Priest Patrick Wattigny sexually abused him when he was an elementary student at a Covington Catholic school.
