A 46-year-old priest at Tømmerup Church in the western Zealand town of Kalundborg is suspected of sexually assaulting several children, police said on Thursday.
The man has been in police custody since late June but details of the case were first made public on Thursday after the Holbæk City Court lifted reporting restrictions on the case.
Mid- and West Zealand Police then released the name of the church in the hopes that additional potential victims will come forward.
“We have gotten far in our investigation […] but we suspect that there are more children whom we haven’t yet spoken with there may have been subjected to abuse in connection with their contact with the priest at Tømmerup Church,” Commissioner Ove Pedersen said.
