CAMDEN (NJ) -- Catholic Church officials have removed a priest from the ministry in the wake of accusations of sexual abuse 29 years ago, according to a report in the Press of Atlantic City.

The report said Camden Diocese took the action against Rev. Brendan V. Sullivan, 75, who worked in parishes in Margate, Absecon and Ventnor, and was a former principal at Holy Spirit High School. Sullivan confirmed the incident to the newspaper, which came to light in February after a 43-year-old man made a call to toll-free hotline to report the abuse that he said occurred when he was 14.

Atlantic County Prosecutor Ted Housel told the newspaper Sullivan will likely not face criminal charges.
