GREENE COUNTY, N.Y. — A Greene County priest has been placed on administrative leave after allegations he sexually abused a minor.

Reverend Jeremiah Nunan, 74, is the pastor at the Sacred Heart Parish in Cairo, and at Our Lady of Knock Mission in East Durham. During the suspension, he is prohibited from officiating any ceremonies, wearing clerical clothing, or presenting himself as a priest.

The victim claims Nunan abused him as a child between 1996 and 2003, and when he was an adult between 2007 and 2011.
