According to a spokeswoman for the Roman Catholic Diocese of St. John’s, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has concluded its investigation into a complaint concerning Father Wayne Dohey and determined no charges will be laid.
Dohey was removed from his position as parish priest at St. Patrick’s Parish in March and suspended from all ministerial duties while the archdiocese conducted its own investigation. The spokeswoman said it is not known at this time when that investigation will conclude and confirmed Dohey remains suspended.
