The Catholic Diocese of Owensboro is recommending that a priest on temporary suspension be removed from public ministry permanently.
Father Joseph Bradley was placed on temporary suspension on March 1 after the Diocesan Review Board determined that an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor had been found credible. On March 4, a second individual came forward with a similar complaint.
The allegations dated back to the early 1980s when Bradley was principal of Owensboro Catholic High School.
On April 25, the Diocesan Review Board recommended the allegations be deemed substantiated.
“I have accepted the counsel of the Diocesan Review Board that they believe these allegations have been substantiated,” said Bishop William Medley in a news release.
