The Bakersfield Police Department is closing the 1990’s sexual battery case against Monsignor Craig Harrison.

Police said after a thorough investigation, they were unable to “identified any allegations of criminal behavior with corroborative evidence.”

They said the case does not meet the standards for a recommendation for filing of criminal charges and they will not be forwarding it to the Kern County District Attorney’s Office.

The Fresno diocese is still investigating claims made against Monsignor Harrison and there are still cases open in Firebaugh and Merced.
