KANSAS
Wichita Eagle

Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston announced at 1:30 p.m. today that her office has made a decision concerning allegations against a priest.
Foulston told reporters, "This is not a priest abuse situation."
Her office will not bring charges against the priest, who had been accused by a former parishioner of sexual abuse.
Foulston said an investigation showed that there was no evidence that a crime had been committed.
The woman and priest had a consensual relationship that included kissing, hand-holding and embracing, Foulston said. "There was no sexual contact."
