ALBANY (NY)
WSTM
ALBANY, N.Y. An Albany priest has been cleared of sexual abuse allegations by his local diocese.
An internal investigation by the Albany Roman Catholic Diocese found, quote, "no reasonable cause" for the allegations that the Reverend Daniel Maher abused a former altar boy in the 1970s.
Maher is pastor of Holy Cross Church in Albany.
In May, Thomas Clements filed a lawsuit in state Supreme Court alleging that Maher raped him twice during a church retreat.
