The Archdiocese of Boston has placed Reverend Kenneth A. LeBlanc on administrative leave. This comes on the heels of child sex abuse allegations against the reverend, who is the pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Plymouth.

The alleged sexual abuse involving Reverend LeBlanc is said to have occurred approximately three decades ago.

In a written statement on this latest church sex abuse allegation, the Archdiocese of Boston said, “The decision to place Father LeBlanc on administrative leave represents the Archdiocese’s commitment to the safety of all parties and does not represent a determination of Father LeBlanc’s guilt or innocence as it pertains to this allegation.

“The Archdiocese will work to resolve this case as expeditiously as possible and in a manner that is fair to all parties.”

The Archdiocese of Boston is now spearheading an investigation into the church child sex abuse allegations against the Plymouth priest.

The Archdiocese says Reverend LeBlanc will remain on administrative leave until the preliminary phase of the church child sex abuse investigation is complete.
