FAIRBANKS, Alaska — A Fairbanks priest has been placed on administrative leave while the FBI investigates his conduct online.
Police have declined to say what they’re looking for in the inquiry into the Rev. Clint Landry, a priest assigned to Sacred Heart Cathedral.
The Diocese of Fairbanks announced Landry’s leave on Friday night. Landry has not been charged with a crime. He was ordained three years ago.
Church officials say the reported misconduct involved the use of diocesan computers, and the diocese acted swiftly upon receiving a report of misconduct, The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported (http://is.gd/P99N8t ).
“At the time we were notified of potential misconduct, immediate measures were taken,” said Ronnie Rosenberg, director of human resources and legal coordinator for the diocese. “The computer was secured, and law enforcement was notified.”
