Cedarburg Priest Accused of Sexual Abuse

WISCONSIN
CBS 58

Father Tom Eichenberger of St. Francis Borgia Parish in Cedarburg has been put on administrative leave following an allegation of sexual abuse from a minor that allegedly happened 38 years ago.

Father Eichenberger denies the allegation and the District Attorney will not prosecute, but per protocol an independent investigator will investigate for the Archdiocese.

A meeting of pastoral council was held Thursday and members were told the Father is now on administrative leave.

Parishioners will learn more at this weekend’s Masses.
