A city court judge dismissed a sexual misconduct allegations case against Father David Tokarz.

Tokarz is a pastor at Our Savior Catholic Church in West Mobile, and he was arrested in April and charged with sexual misconduct and harassment.

According to the original complaint, the incident allegedly occurred in March on two separate occasions. The complaint alleges that sexual conduct with the victim by hugging her but when he released her from the hug he rubbed his hands on the side of her breasts and patted her breasts as well.

Tokarz’s attorney, Jeff Deen, said the victim requested for the case to be dismissed.

“She expressed some reasons,” Deen said. “And it was a very emotional experience for her, and she didn’t want to pursue it any further.”

WKRG News 5 reached out to the Archdiocese of Mobile for comment but has not heard back.
