KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The former Catholic priest accused of the sexual abuse of a man during childhood was arrested Monday in Greene County on a fugitive from justice warrant, according to the Greene County Sheriff's Department.

Last week, Warren Tucker, 44, publicly accused Rev. William Casey of abusing him as a child. A day later, Casey admitted abusing Tucker, and said there are likely other abuse victims from Casey's early years in the ministry, according to Bishop Richard Stika.

Casey was charged with sexual abuse in North Carolina, where some of the alleged abuse occurred. Charges cannot be brought in Tennessee, because the statute of limitation has passed.
