According to the Public Prosecution Service, two people are currently in custody. However, no further details about the incident have been released.
Any pastoral activity is prohibited
The case became public last week. The priest in question was “immediately relieved of his duties in the diocese of St. Pölten” and “prohibited from carrying out any pastoral activity in the diocese,” according to a statement from the diocese of St. Pölten.
