A 59-year-old priest with the Diocese of Fresno is on leave after being accused of sexual misconduct in Firebaugh.
Rev. Monsignor Craig Francis Harrison is being
investigated after the allegation was made this month by an adult male,
who was a minor when the alleged offense happened, according to a
statement from the diocese.
Harrison currently serves at St. Francis Parish
in Bakersfield. “I can confirm that there was a report taken, Monday
April 15,” said Raquel Tabares, Firebaugh police records supervisor and
lead dispatcher. “Right now, (the investigation) is still in the
fact-finding stage.”
In a news release issued midday Thursday,
Firebaugh police say the alleged victim was allegedly inappropriately
touched when he was 14 to 16 years old.
