Officials with the Catholic Church in Rome have removed an area priest accused of sexual abuse.
The Diocese of Scranton released a statement Wednesday saying Monsignor Peter Crynes can no longer celebrate mass publicly or present himself as a priest.
Crynes resigned in 2006 admitting improper behavior with high school girls.
Crynes last served at Saint Therese parish in Shavertown in Luzerne County. He also served for years at youth camps and parishes in Luzerne, Lackawanna and Wyoming counties.
