SCRANTON – The Diocese of Scranton Friday said a priest accused of sexual misconduct with a minor in Wayne County was removed from his ministry pending the investigation into the accusation.
The diocese said it was notified Wednesday of the accusation against the Rev. Russell E. Motsay.
The alleged victim is now an adult and the Wayne County District Attorney’s Office and state police in Honesdale are investigating.
Motsay was ordained in 1972 and was serving as pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Carbondale since 1996.
