BUFFALO, N.Y. (ChurchMilitant.com) – A New York district attorney is launching an investigation into allegations of sex abuse against a Buffalo priest.

Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn has opened an investigation into a former seminarian’s complaints that a priest sexually harassed him and stole a letter from him in an effort to blackmail another priest.

Former seminarian Matthew Bojanowski, who attended scandal-ridden Christ the King Seminary, claims that Fr. Jeffrey Nowak violated the seal of confession several years ago when Bojanowski told Nowak during confession that he wanted to become a priest.
