PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Roman Catholic church officials in Philadelphia have suspended another priest due to allegations of sexual abuse.
According to the archdiocese, the accusations involve minors and date back about 30 years. Officials say the claims first surfaced last spring.
The Associated Press is not naming the 56-year-old priest because he has not been criminally charged. He could not be reached for comment on Monday.
Church officials say the priest was first placed on leave in March 2011 for allegedly violating standards of ministerial behavior and boundaries.
