	Omaha Priest under Investigation By Jonathan Athens KPTM December 17, 2011 http://www.kptm.com/story/16344012/omaha-priest-under-investigation An Omaha priest is under investigation by both the police and the Archdiocese after a Carter Lake man accused that priest of sexual abuse. Rev. Al Salanitro told parishioners in a Dec. 15 letter: "I deny ever having sexually abused this individual." The 52-year-old Salanitro is on leave pending the investigation. The Archdiocese of Omaha issued a news release stating a Carter Lake man accused Salanitro of allegedly sexually abusing him between 1991-1994. Salanitro is currently pastor at St. Bernadette Parish in Bellevue. At the time of the allegations, Salanitro was a priest at Holy Cross. The Archdiocese said the accuser was not a member of that church. Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said he received a letter from the Archdiocese concerning the allegations. Kleine said Friday the Omaha Police Department has started it's investigation.
