LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A priest who was removed from his parish after being accused of sexual abuse will be returning in time for Christmas services.

Fr. Ronald Domhoff was serving as pastor of St. Peter The Apostle on Johnsontown Road when the accusation against him was made. Archbishop Joseph Kurtz placed Domhoff on administrative leave on Sept. 25 after being informed by Louisville Metro police of the allegation. The person making the accusation said the abuse occurred in the 1980s.

According to a statement released to WAVE 3 News by the Archdiocese, the decision to return Domhoff to his parish came after the claim against him could not be substantiated and the investigation was ended by the LMPD Crimes Against Children Unit.
