A priest with ties to Monroe County has been accused of sexually abusing a young boy.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Scranton said it has received an allegation against Father Thomas Shoback.

The alleged incident took place in Tioga County, when the accuser, who's now an adult, was a minor.

Shoback once served as an assistant pastor at St. Matthew's Church in East Stroudsburg.

He now serves at a parish in Jermyn, Lackawanna County.

The diocese said it has notified the Tioga County DA's office and removed Shoback from his duties.
