Charles Patrick Mayer served as priest at Our Lady of Lourdes Church. Now he is accused of trying to lure an underaged boy.
A Banning school administrator accused of trying to lure an underage boy for sex is on “inactive leave” as a Roman Catholic priest and served for four years at a church in Northridge, according to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
Charles Patrick Mayer, 55, of Menifee, is “not in ministry and living privately, since September of 2000 due to a failure to adhere to Archdiocesan policies concerning interaction with youth and young adults. The Archdiocese has no record of allegations of sexual misconduct by Charles Mayer,” according to a statement from the archdiocese.
The statement, released Thursday, was part of a bulletin to parishioners at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Northridge, which was Mayer’s first assignment as a priest after his 1996 ordination until 2000.
