ST. FRANCIS – A Waukesha Catholic priest is now on leave after a sexual abuse allegation. The allegation dates back 30 years.
Parishioners are stunned by the news. However, this is not the first time Father John Schreiter has been accused of sexual abuse.
The Catholic Diocese says he is now on leave, just one week before he was set to retire.
“People looked upset. I saw people crying. People looked shocked,” one parishioner told us.
St. John Neumann Catholic Church parishioners were too upset to show their faces on camera. They say they are in shock that their priest, Father John Schreiter, is now under investigation for sexual abuse.
