CINCINNATI -- A priest who has been accused of sexual abuse has been relieved of his ministry assignment and brought to Cincinnati.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati said that it received an anonymous allegation against Glenmary Father Robert Poandl. The abuse is alleged to have happened 30 years ago. Poandl denies the allegation, archdiocese spokesman Dan Andriacco said.

Poandl was relieved of his assignment in Georgia and returned to the Glenmary Residence in Cincinnati on Monday. He is not allowed to publicly function as a Catholic priest while the allegations against him are being investigated.
