New York – Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of a New York prelate accused of sexually abusing a minor.
On Thursday, the Vatican announced that New York Auxiliary Bp. John Jenik is stepping down, nearly two years after he was first accused of sexually abusing a teenage boy.
Jenik, 75, was removed from ministry in October 2018 after a nine-month investigation by the archdiocesan lay review board.
