KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A 45-year-old man has accused a Roeland Park priest of sexual misconduct.

The man claims the Rev. John Wisner touched him inappropriately when his was 15 years old during a youth outing in 1982.

“While Father Wisner acknowledges the time, location and circumstances surrounding the allegation, he denies that he engaged in any sexual misconduct,” Archbishop Joseph Naumann said in a news release.

Naumann said that Wisner has been temporarily relieved of his ministerial responsibilities and is restricted from exercising his priestly ministry until an investigation is complete.
