Fr. Scott James Kallal
Member of the Apostles of the Interior Life. Assistant at Holy Spirit in Overland Park when suspended 7/2017 after two people complained of inappropriate conduct by Kallal, one toward an 11-year-old girl. Per the girl's father, the priest tickled her and touched her breast at a St. Patrick's gathering in the summer of 2015. Kallal denied "moral misconduct or malicious intent." Arrested in MD 7/24/2017, where he had been sent for treatment. Charged with two felony counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. Pleaded not guilty. Judge ordered trial. Included on the Archdiocese's list 1/25/2019. Trial in 9/2019 ended in a hung jury. Kallal was to remain on leave of absence. In 9/2021 the District Attorney's Office dismissed the case after determining that a retrial was not in the best interest of the alleged victim. Kallal was to remain on leave pending an investigation by the archdiocese.
