The Diocese of Allentown removed a Berks County priest after they say he admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with a young woman.

The Diocese claims Reverend Cletus Onyegbule, 44, began a relationship with the woman when she was 18 years old. Onyegbule has served as the assistant pastor at St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Sinking Spring since March of 2009. The Allentown Diocese is handling the case which is not being considered criminal since the woman was of legal age.
