Another priest from the Altoona-Johnstown Catholic Diocese is in hot water for allegedly sexually assaulting a minor.
No charges have been filed, but Father Martin Cingle has been suspended from the ministry while the Diocese investigates this most recent allegation.
The allegation is of sexual misconduct involving minors -- and it dates back to 2002.  The Diocese tells us that Martin has served at about a dozen parishes throughout the diocese -- and currently is the pastor at All Saints parish in Boswell and Saint Anne parish in Davidsville, both in Somerset County. A letter was read to the parishes this past weekend informing them of this development, but the Diocese says Church business will continue while Martin is suspended.
