A former priest in the Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg was arrested Thursday morning on accusations that he molested two altar boys between 1997 and 2002.
John G. Allen was arrested on four counts of indecent assault and two counts of corruption of minors.
According to the Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office, an investigation into Allen, now 75, began in October 2018 after the Diocese of Harrisburg notified the DA’s office of allegations made against the former priest.
