WATERVILLE, Maine —
A priest at a Waterville church has been removed after he was accused of sexually abusing a minor.
Fr. Larry Jensen had worked at St. Joseph Maronite Catholic Church in Waterville since 2006.
The Diocese of Portland said the abuse allegations involved a 17-year-old boy and were related to abuse more than 15 years ago outside Maine.
Church officials in New York said a complaint had been filed against Jensen in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
The diocese said that once the claim was substantiated, Jensen was removed from the Waterville church and permanently removed from the ministry.
