A local minister was forced to leave the Albany Diocese after a newspaper report showed he was convicted of sexually abusing four boys.

The Dallas Morning News said 75-year-old John Murphy, who was serving as a minister in Dolgeville, was sentenced to 20 months of house arrest for the assaults. According to the report, the abuse happened in Canada back in the 1950s.
