Catholic Priest Suspended Over Sexual Assault Allegations
A Holy Cross Catholic Church priest, Reverend Robert P. Buchmeier has been suspended over sexual assault allegations, according to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington.
A letter from the Archdiocese of Washington posted on the church’s website says the accusations of sexual abuse of minors date back decades, “prior to his ordination to the priesthood” and in another diocese. The pastor was ordained in 1991.
