A Luxembourgish priest is being questioned by Luxembourg Police over allegations he sexually abused a minor.

The priest in question is believed to have willingly gone to the police. Under Diocese guidelines, he has been suspended of his pastoral duties by the Archbishop, who has contacted the prosecution to ensure they were aware of the affair.

In a press release, the Catholic Church said it was for the legal system to deal with the matter.
