Cape Breton Regional Police confirmed Friday they are investigating a complaint against a staff member at the Talbot House rehabilitation centre in Frenchvale.

“Talbot House has raised some concerns with police regarding one of its employees,” said spokeswoman Desiree Vassallo.

“We are looking further into that information and will determine whether there’s anything that needs a criminal investigation.”

Rev. Paul Abbass took a leave from his post as executive director of Talbot House on Feb. 3 and has been relieved of his duties with the Diocese of Antigonish after at least one complaint was filed with the Community Services Department.
