Investigation of school priest finds no crime, police say

GEORGIA
Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Sandy Springs police announced Monday their investigation involving a Catholic school priest and a juvenile is over and no laws were broken.

The investigation began a week ago, but the school, Holy Spirit Preparatory School, and police released little information about the case, not even what was being investigated.

A police incident report was blank except for listing an unnamed female student at the school’s Long Island Drive campus as the victim and Thomas Flynn as a suspect. Flynn had been listed previously on the school website as chaplain. On Friday, police said detectives were still gathering information.

Sandy Springs police Sgt. Forrest Bohannon said via email the department’s investigation is closed and referred questions to the school.

The school’s headmaster, Kyle Pietrantonio, declined comment via email Monday, saying the school doesn’t comment on personnel matters.
