A parochial vicar at St. Stanislaus Church in Lansdale has been arrested and charged with misdemeanor indecent assault without consent of another and harassment, according to 6abc.com.

Father John Roebuck, 64, of Lansdale, has been placed on administrative leave and relieved of his duties, per the report.

The Archdiocese is being hush-hush about details, but called Roebuck’s alleged actions “deeply troubling.”

A child was not the alleged victim, per 6abc.

The charges stem from a Dec. 15, 2013 incident, according to court records.
