A Maronite chorbishop was suspended from ministry after he was arrested for allegedly engaging in a public sex act with a registered sex offender at an Ohio park.

“I write to you today in response to the charges that have been made against Chorbishop Anthony Spinosa,” Bishop Elias Zaidan of the Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon in Los Angeles wrote in a letter dated August 18.

Bishop Zaidan continued: “Like you, I am saddened and looking for answers, which will only come when the civil authorities have completed their investigation and any subsequent legal action.”
