It was a sighting of the priest allegedly driving a teenage boy alone in his car that prompted a church official to report Rev. Jaime Marin-Cardona.

The report led to an investigation and Marin-Cardona being placed on leave from the church while the state Department of Children and Families and the Danbury Police examine the abuse allegations.

Being alone in a car with a minor violates one of the many policies in the Diocese of Bridgeport’s Safe Environment Handbook.
