The Diocese of Buffalo has placed three diocesan priests on administrative leave, following a new abuse accusation that dates back to the 1990s.
In a press statement issued on Saturday, the diocese announced new allegations against three priests of the diocese: Fr. Adolph Kowalczyk, Fr. Gregory Dobson, and Fr. Mieczyslaw Nycz. The anonymous accusation came under New York's Child Victims Act.
The Buffalo News reported that an Erie County man filed the lawsuit. He was a student at Sacred Heart School at the time the alleged abuse occurred. The plaintiff claims the three priests “coerced him to engage in sexual contact with other underage female students,” which the priests allegedly filmed on school grounds and in “the confessional rooms.”
