COLUMBUS, Ohio —
Bishop Andonis with the Archdiocese of New York says Father Nicholas Hughes will not fight the sex abuse charges against him and is working on a plea deal.
Hughes has been the interim priest for the past year at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral in the Short North.
He was arrested on Sept. 19 by the Franklin County Internet Crimes Against Children task force for soliciting sex over the internet.
Investigators say the 56-year-old thought he was chatting with the parents of a 9-year-old and 14-year-old boy.
