BRAINTREE (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) – A pastor at a parish in Plymouth was placed on administrative leave on Sunday by the Archdiocese of Boston as a result of an allegation of sexual abuse of a child.
The Archdiocese notified law enforcement of the allegation after receiving word that Rev. James E. Braley, the Pastor of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Parish in Plymouth, had allegedly assaulted a child in the early 1980s.
The age and gender of the victim remain unclear, as well as when the alleged assault occurred.
An investigation into the allegation has been launched and Fr. Braley will remain on administrative leave pending the outcome of the preliminary investigation.
