A Massachusetts priest has been banned from public ministry following his arrest on charges he groped a man.

Pariishioners at Blessed Sacrament Parish in Walpole said they are shocked that the Rev. Emile "mike" Boutin, a youth pastor at Blessed Sacrament Parish, pleaded not guilty in Stoughton District Court on Monday to indecent assault and battery at the Canton Park and Ride commuter parking lot. The Boston Archdiocese removed Father Boutin from public ministry pending the outcome of the case.

Prosecutors say the alleged victim pulled into the lot at about 8:30 a.m. Monday and walked into the woods to go to the bathroom. The man said another man followed him and touched him through his shorts. The alleged victim go the license late number of his assailant's car and called police.
