A priest in Puerto Rico has been charged with lewd acts in a case that authorities say involved a 14-year-old boy.
Police said Friday that 50-year-old Floyd Lenin McCoy was arrested and later released on $5,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court March 4 and has been ordered to wear an ankle monitor.
It was not immediately clear if he has a lawyer.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Mayaguez contacted prosecutors about the case and suspended McCoy from a church in the western town of Hormigueros. The island’s Justice Department says the alleged incidents occurred between 2013 and 2014.
