Waterloo, IA (KCRG) – A former Dubuque man says his priest abused him when he was a child at Resurrection School.

Jeff Buchheit says Father Leo Riley first abused him in 1985 before school during an early morning mass.

Buchheit was an altar boy at the church.

Father Riley is no longer with the Archdiocese of Dubuque. He’s currently on administrative leave in a Florida parish during the ongoing investigation.

This morning in Waterloo, Buchheit and his attorney spoke with reporters about the allegations.
