A Pennsylvania priest was removed from the ministry after being accused of sexually abusing a minor.
Father Robert J. Potts, the pastor of St. Ursula Church, Fountain Hill in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is accused of sexually abusing a minor in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Potts, 82, allegedly abused the victim while he was pastor of the former St. George Parish, Shenandoah.
The accusation was made recently to the administrators of the Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program who then notified the Diocese of Allentown. The program was established by the Diocese to provide compensation for abuse victims.
