ALBEMARLE, N.C. - The Bishop McGuinness chaplain accused of molesting a 14-year-old boy more than 30 years ago turned himself in to police Thursday afternoon and was released after posting bond.
Rev. Joseph Kelleher, the chaplain at the Roman Catholic high school in Kernersville, was charged with indecent liberties with a child for an alleged incident involving a 14-year-old boy in 1977.
Kelleher, 82, of Winston-Salem, has been placed on administrative leave while the Diocese of Charlotte investigates the accusations.
Kelleher was released from custody after posting $5,000 bond. He's scheduled to appear in court August 9.
