The Archdiocese of Omaha has found a former Catholic priest from Norfolk guilty of sexually abusing minors.
Archbishop George Lucas says there is enough evidence against Franklin Dvorak. Dvorak is accused of abusing a female student from 1970 to 1972 when he was stationed at Sacred Heart Parish. That’s now called Norfolk Catholic.
Dvorak was not formally charged because of the statute of limitations.
The church is now prohibiting him from publicly exercising priestly ministry in the church, but he can retain his clerical status.
