BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A Roman Catholic priest admits he shared a bed with an altar boy, but says he was asleep the whole time and cannot be guilty of sexually molesting the youth. Rev. Walter Coleman said in documents filed with the court that on the nights he slept with the 11-year-old boy, he was asleep "at all times."

"I was not conscious of any such touching, and for that reason, I could not have consciously intended that alleged touching to have occurred for any purpose," Coleman stated. According to the lawsuit, Coleman molested the boy from 1978-1980.
