A retired Catholic priest with ties to Saint Francis University
turned himself in to police Wednesday in Fairfax County, Va., where he
is accused of having inappropriate contact with a 15-year-old girl.
Gervase Cain, 86, a retired priest living
in Loretto, has been charged with taking indecent liberties with a child
for an alleged 2003 incident.
In 2003, Cain — then 72 years old — allegedly touched a 15-year-old girl inappropriately during a “consultation” at her Fairfax home, according to a Fairfax County Police news release.
The incident was first reported to police in 2004, but the complaint was later withdrawn, police said.
The case was reopened this May, and a warrant for Cain’s arrest was
issued on July 17. Cain turned himself in Wednesday, according to
police.
