Baltimore pastor removed from ministry in 2021 amid investigation
There is no evidence to substantiate allegations against a priest who was removed from ministry over a child sex abuse investigation, the Archdiocese of Baltimore announced Sunday.
The archdiocese said Father Martin Demek is suitable to return to ministry.
The claims against him involved someone who said they were abused starting in 1989 in Manchester. The archdiocese says it worked with an investigative team and interviewed nearly 50 people to come up with its decision.
The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office also investigated the claims and did not file charges.
