PRIEST REMOVED AMID SEXUAL ABUSE ALLEGATIONS

A Baltimore priest is facing suspension over sexual abuse allegations involving a child.  The Archdiocese of Baltimore says it received allegations against Corpus Christi Catholic Church pastor Martin Demek earlier this year.  Demek is accused of sexually abusing an eleven-year-old in 1989 at Saint Bartholomew Catholic Church in Manchester.  The Archdiocese says it immediately turned the information over to the Carroll County Sheriff’s office.  Their policy is to suspend a priest following a full investigation.
