PLYMOUTH —
The lawyer for the Rev. James Braley, a Plymouth priest accused of sexual misconduct, said his client “denies any wrongdoing whatsoever.”
The Archdiocese of Boston announced Sunday that the Rev. Braley, who has been the pastor of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Parish in West Plymouth for a decade, has been placed on administrative leave. The archdiocese took the action after it received an allegation of sexual abuse of a child.
In its statement, the archdiocese said the allegation concerns conduct that took place in the early 1980s.
Ordained in 1975, the Rev. Braley served as chaplain at Archbishop Williams High School in Braintree from 1981 to 1986.
Sullivan said he has not been able to meet with investigators from the archdiocese to review the specifics, and only has “very general” knowledge of the allegation.
