Brighton Police say they will not pursue charges against one of two priests removed from ministry by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester.
Police investigated sexual abuse allegations against Father Erick Viloria after the diocese said he had inappropriately used social media with an adult. Investigators consulted with the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office, but determined the alleged crime happened so long ago that the statute of limitations had been exceeded and the crime could not be prosecuted.
The department says the case has been closed.
