Reverend Joseph Muench

(WHAS11) - A Lexington priest has been suspended while authorities investigate allegations of sexual abuse.

Reverend Joseph Muench was banned from performing any ministerial duties following an internal investigation. The findings have been forwarded on the commonwealth's attorney.

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports the suspension came after complaints from three men, dating back to the mid-1980's when Muench was the associate pastor of Good Shepherd Parish in Frankfort.

The 54-year-old pastor is at Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary in Lexington.
