Pastor Wallace Harris won't be charged with sexual abuse

Pastor Wallace dodged one bullet only to face another. His church is morally obligated to investigate the allegations even though the statute of limitation has run its course.

Both alleged incidents happened at another New York Archdiocese congregation, before Harris took the helm at St. Charles in 1989, Zwilling said.

The pastor has been suspended from his duties as a priest until recommendations are made by an advisory review board.

"[Harris' future] will be addressed a quickly as possible," Zwilling said.

I read this two ways. Either Harris is in trouble, or Harris will be on his way to a new parish. I'm betting he is packing his bags already.
