Lackawanna County detectives seized a laptop computer, samples of bodily fluid and DNA as evidence against a suspended Diocese of Scranton priest accused of sexual misconduct with a 15-year-old boy, according to search warrant inventories filed Thursday.
Detectives Chris Kolcharno and Justin Leri served the warrants against the Rev. William Paulish, 56, on Sept. 20, hours after he was caught in the backseat of his Toyota Venza in a parking lot at Penn State Worthington Scranton campus with a teenager who was not wearing pants.
Detectives took seven swabs of bodily fluid from the car’s backseat. They also seized a green towel detectives believe was used to clean up bodily fluid after sex acts.
They also served a warrant on his home at 750 Third St., Blakely, and seized an HP Pavilion laptop and power cord. According to an affidavit in support of the warrant, the Rev. Paulish told police he views “Twink” pornography, which depicts teenaged boys engaged in sexual acts in various stages of nudity, detectives said.
