A high-ranking member of the Catholic Church in Nova Scotia accused of misconduct is no longer under investigation by police.
Late Friday afternoon, Cape Breton Regional Police issued a news release saying they would not pursue any further investigations about an unnamed employee for Talbot House, an addiction treatment facility in Frenchvale.
“Based on the information (from) our investigation, there was no grounds to pursue criminal charges,” police department spokeswoman Desiree Vassallo said in an interview.
Vassallo would not reveal the subject of the investigation, but Rev. Paul Abbass confirmed in an email to The Canadian Press that he was the person being investigated, and that police have ended the probe.
