BALTIMORE â The Archdiocese of Baltimore is investigating an allegation of child sexual abuse involving a pastor at Corpus Christi Catholic Church.
Although he's denied the allegations, Fr. Martin H. Demek has been removed as a priest and suspended from the ministry, pending the results of an investigation.
The alleged abuse began in about 1989 at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church in Manchester, when the victim was approximately 11-years-old.
However, the Archdiocese was only made aware earlier this year.
