Bishop Richard J. Malone is reopening an investigation into allegations that the Rev. Fabian J. Maryanski had sexual contact with a teenage girl in the mid-1980s.
Diocese of Buffalo officials confirmed that Maryanski, 77, was investigated in 1995 following an accusation of sexual abuse.
“Since the investigation was conducted at a time before I became bishop of Buffalo, I have decided to reopen the investigation,” Malone said in a statement.
The statement came after The Buffalo News published a story Sunday stating that Maryanski was assigned to work in parishes for more than a decade after he was accused of having sexual contact with a teenage girl in a church rectory.
