Victoria police have reopened an investigation into a 2018 abuse accusation into a priest who worked in Victoria after new information surfaced.
Victoria police have reopened an investigation into a 2018 accusation by a Nazareth Academy student of abuse by a priest after receiving new information, police and diocese officials said Friday.
Police have declined to reveal details about the case, including the priest’s name, the nature of the abuse and new information, because the investigation is ongoing, said Senior Police Officer David Brogger, spokesman for the Victoria Police Department.
“This is an active investigation so the department cannot release information,” Brogger said. “The accusation was originally reported in 2018, and more information prompted the police department to reopen the case.”
