A priest who served in Modesto and throughout Stanislaus County has been accused of sexual misconduct with a child.

Father Eduardo De Jesus Perez Torrez is the focus of a review by Diocesan Review Board, the Diocese of Stockton wrote in a statement on Thursday afternoon.

The alleged incident apparently took place in 1999.

“In accord with the diocesan policy, the Modesto Police Department was notified,” the statement said. “The Diocese will continue to fully cooperate with law enforcement.”
