Bryan Fitzgerald writes in the Times Union, Greene County priest, the Rev. Jeremiah Nunan, was placed on administrative leave after allegations that he sexually abused a minor surfaced. Nunan, 74, is the pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Cairo, and at Our Lady of Knock Mission in East Durham. During his suspension he is prohibited from officiating at any ceremonies, wearing clerical clothing, or presenting himself as a priest. The victim alleged Nunan abused him as a child between 1996 and 2003, and later when he was an adult, between 2007 and 2011. This is the second time Nunan has been accused of the sex abuse of a minor. In 2006, Nunan was accused of abusing a child beginning in 1967, during the time he was serving at St. Mary's Church in Hudson. Following an 11-month investigation, Nunan was cleared and restored to the ministry. Read the full story in the Times Union.
