	Sexual Misconduct Allegations Made against Priest WINK News December 29, 2008 http://www.winknews.com/news/local/36854339.html FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Diocese of Venice is investigating sexual misconduct allegations made against a priest. The allegation suggests sexual misconduct by reverend Jean Joseph in 1993, while he was a priest at St. Francis Xavier in Fort Myers. The diocese says they are investigating this allegation under the church's "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People" adopted by US Catholic Bishops in 2002. The charter says anyone who has been sexually abused should report the abuse to law enforcement or the person responsible for victim's assistance. So far, WINK News has found no report to law enforcement. The allegation was only filed with the church.
