Sexual abuse charges dating back to the 1960s against a Greene County priest have been dropped.

The Albany Roman Catholic Diocese says there's no evidence to suggest Reverend Jeremiah Nunan molested Father Mark Jaufmann. Jaufmann accused Nunan last year of sexually abusing him several times when he was just 10-years-old. The attorney representing Jaufmann says the findings are outrageous.

"Bishop Hubbard has a very serious priest shortage, after removing 22 priests for pedophilia. He has now embarked on a strategy to try to clear guilty priests. The public knows the bishop has no credibility on these investigations that are conducted by Bishop Hubbard himself," said Attorney John Aretakis.

Nunan was serving at St. Mary's Church in Hudson at the time and is now the pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Cairo and Our Lady of Knock Mission in East Durham.
