An Italian catholic priest has been arrested in the central town of Fano over allegations of abusing a 13-year-old girl, local media reported.

Italian police arrested Father Gian-giacomo Ruggieri on Friday.

His home was raided and his computer was seized by officers investigating the case.

The accused priest was immediately suspended from all his priestly duties right after the arrest.

Bishop Armando Trasarti said he was shocked and upset by the incident, and expressed “full solidarity with the abuse victim.”
