A former New Jersey priest has been arrested after allegedly working unsupervised with children despite a legal agreement barring him from doing so.

Michael Fugee was arrested Monday on charges of contempt of a judicial order. He is to appear in court Tuesday.

Fugee was convicted of aggravated criminal assault in 2003 after police say he confessed to grabbing a boy’s crotch. The conviction was thrown out and Fugee reached a deal with prosecutors that allowed him to return to the ministry if his job didn’t involve parishioners under 18.
