The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has placed the Rev. Michael Chapman, former priest of St. Agnes from 1986-1990, back on administrative leave following allegations of sexual abuse of minors.
According to the press release, Chapman was originally placed on leave in March 2011 for an alleged violation of The Standards of Ministerial Behavior and Boundaries.
In May of 2012, as Archbishop Charles Chaput and the Office for Child and Youth Protection was working with the parish for his return, the Archdiocese received allegations of sexual abuse of minors against Chapman.
