A Sewickley priest is on leave as the Allegheny County District Attorney’s office investigates a complaint involving Facebook postings to a minor.
The Rev. Daniel Valentine, a St. James priest, began a leave of absence May 19 because of a complaint about Facebook postings, according to a letter from Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese Bishop David Zubik. District Attorney’s office spokesman Mike Manko confirmed his office received a request to investigate.
Valentine could not be reached for comment.
In a letter to parishioners posted on the St. James website, Zubik said he instructed diocesan staff to ask the District Attorney’s office to do a forensic audit of the computers at Saint James Parish and Valentine’s personal computer.
