COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- A Catholic priest in East Naples is on paid administrative leave.
Father Leo Riley is accused of molesting a child in 1985. The allegations just surfaced in December 2014 from Iowa where Riley used to live.
Parishioners say they are shocked to hear the news about the allegations.
In a statement to WINK News, the Diocese of Venice says Riley denies the claims. He is on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of an investigation at the Archdiocese in Dubuque, Iowa.
