DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Two former local priests are among three in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to be permanently removed of their clerical duties by the Vatican.
Thomas Kuhn was put on leave in 2002 after police seized his computer from St. Henry Parish where he was pastor.
He was convicted two years later of misdemeanor charges of public indecency and providing alcohol to minors. He served a 30 day jail sentence after violating his probation.
He also served Incarnation Church in Dayton from 1989 until 2001 before his tenure at St. Henry.
Thomas Feldhaus and Ronald Cooper were also defrocked. Both men were accused of inappropriately touching children. Cooper served as associate pastor at St. Albert the Great in Dayton from 1989-1990. Feldhaus mostly served in the Cincinnati area.
