The move comes after police informed the Archdiocese of Louisville that an adult male reported he had been sexually abused by three people as a minor in the 1980s and listed one of the three accused as the Rev. Ronald Domhoff of St. Peter the Apostle Parish on Johnsontown Road, Archdiocese officials said.

Domhoff was put on administrative leave as a standard procedure in sexual abuse cases, officials said.

An internal investigation of the accusation will also take place.

During his leave, Domhoff will be prohibited from public ministry pending the outcome of the investigation.

Archdiocese officials said they are committed to reaching out to victims of sexual abuse by church employees, and anyone who has been the victim of sexual abuse or who has information about sexual abuse should contact police.

At one time, Domhoff taught at Trinity High School.
