BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – A veteran priest who was abruptly removed from a Buffalo Church over the weekend, is said to have admitted to accusations.

Father Secondo Casarotto, of Saint Anthony of Padua Church, has been placed on Administrative Leave over claims he assaulted a female parishioner last year.

The alleged victim’s lawyer contacted News 4 Tuesday night, and says Father Secundo admitted he committed the assault to police.
