James Talbot, a former Catholic priest convicted of sexually assaulting boys in Maine and Massachusetts who was exposed by the investigation that led to the movie “Spotlight,” has died. He was 87.
Talbot, a former Jesuit, appeared on a list provided by the religious order of northeastern Jesuits who faced credible allegations of sexual abuse of a minor. Talbot died on Feb. 28 at a hospice center in St. Louis, said Mike Gabriele, a spokesperson for Jesuits USA East.
