The Catholic Church in Colombia has suspended 15 priests accused of sexual abuse, the archdiocese of the city of Villavicencio said on Friday.
The suspension was “a precautionary measure … because there is an ongoing investigation,” priest Carlos Villabon told AFP.
On February 14 a man, whose name has been withheld, accused the priests of “actions against sexual morality,” according to the statement by the Villavicencio archdiocese.
