HONESDALE — The Diocese of Scranton suspended Fr. Martin Boylan after learning of alleged abuse on Friday.

Fr. Martin Boylan spent time at St. John the Evangelist in Honesdale and eventually ended up at St. Patrick parish in Scranton where he’s been suspended.

It’s unclear where in Wayne County Fr. Boylan is accused of sexual misconduct with a minor, but investigators have indicated the statute of limitations has not run out.

It’s been several years since Fr. Boylan served at St. John the Evangelist in Honesdale.
