An American priest allegedly involved in sexual abuse of minors several decades ago, has been placed on leave.
The offending priest Rev. George Koharchik, who is from western Pennsylvania, went on leave on Friday.
This is while according to the Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown, Koharchik, pastor of Saint Catherine of Siena Parish in Mount Union, a borough in Pennsylvania, is prevented from making contact with children while he is on leave.
He is also not allowed to function as a priest due to the sexual misconduct which allegedly occurred in the late 1970s.
