LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) — A Louisville priest placed on administrative leave of absence after an accusation of sexual abuse is cleared of all allegations Tuesday night.
Father Ron Domhoff was placed on leave in September.
The Louisville Achdiocese confirms that Father Domhoff will return to ministry. A statement by the Archdiocese says the LMPD Crimes Against Children unit has ended its investigation.
Furthermore an Archdiocese Review Board said there was no report or evidence that any abuse had ever occurred.
In a letter to his parishioners, Father Domhoff wrote the following: “The last few months have been the most terrifying experience of my 42 years as a priest. It has been a sheer emotional rollercoaster with deep lows and affirming highs…Constantly, I received texts and letters and hugs on the street and convinced me that I was never alone.”
A former Louisville man, John David Gregory, made the claims against Domhoff. He said the abuse took place in the 1980s.
Gregory’s attorney told WHAS11 news, on Tuesday, they had no comment regarding Domhoff being cleared of all the accusations.
