EASTON, Pa. –
A Berks County priest who admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with an 18-year-old woman is now being investigated for the same thing in Northampton County, but this time, officials said there could be more to the story.

The priest, Cletus Onyegbule, has admitted to having sex with the woman in the rectory of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in Bethlehem Township, investigators said.

“The day after her 18th birthday, in the rectory of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, he admitted to that essentially,” said Morganelli. “Then she claims she got pregnant right away and in March was taken for an abortion by this priest, and he was with her and paid for it.”
