A Catholic priest who has been under investigation since early January was arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a child.
According to Colorado Springs police, Rev. Robert Charles Manning turned himself in Tuesday after an arrest warrant was issued.
Manning, who retired in February from St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church in Colorado Springs, is being held in the El Paso County jail in connection with an Oct. 17, 2011 incident. Court records show that bail has been set at $10,000.
Manning was asked by the church to step down shortly after allegations were brought to the attention of the police on Jan. 4.
