The Tulsa Catholic Diocese says it has wrapped up its investigation into sexual abuse allegations leveled against Father Joe Townsend. The report says the claim, against Townsend when he was at St-Pius X in Tulsa, was unsubstantiated. Fr. Townsend was at the church in the late 80s and early 90s.
Tulsa Bishop David Konderla says the church will take whatever steps necessary keep its children safe. The Bishop says the church will work with local authorities if any new allegations surface against any church leader.
