The Cambria County District Attorney’s office is investigating claims of sexual misconduct leveled against a priest suspended by the Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown after several alleged victims went to authorities.
The DA’s office launched an investigation earlier this month after multiple individuals approached court officials with allegations of sexual misconduct involving the Rev. George D. Koharchik, Assistant District Attorney Beth Bolton Penna said.
“We have had [alleged] victims come forward,” Bolton Penna said, adding that at least two people have alleged Koharchik committed sexual misconduct.
An attempt to reach Koharchik for comment Thursday was unsuccessful.
