Diocese of Scranton and law enforcement officials would not release any more information Monday concerning allegations that the Rev. Martin M. Boylan engaged in sexual misconduct with a minor.
The allegation is still under investigation, and no more information is available, Wayne County District Attorney Janine Edwards said Monday. However, she released a statement that the statute of limitations will not run out until the victim reaches age 50. The age of the victim, who is now an adult, has not been disclosed.
“No further comment will be issued at this time,” Edwards said.
State police will be investigating the allegation, she said.
The Diocese of Scranton immediately notified Edwards’ office on Friday evening after it received an allegation of sexual misconduct involving a minor against the Rev. Boylan, 68. The alleged abuse took place in Wayne County, the diocese said in a statement Friday.
