ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A 74-year-old priest is on administrative leave as the Albany Roman Catholic Diocese investigates a sexual abuse claim against him.

The Rev. Jeremiah Nunan was cleared six years ago of allegations that he sexually abused a minor. The Albany Times-Union reports (http://bit.ly/IpCfXL ) that the diocese announced the new allegations over the weekend.

Nunan is pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Cairo and Our Lady of Knock Mission in East Durham in Greene County.
