The Westchester DA's Office says it's looking at complaints against a priest who served at a Rye church.
Last Friday, News 12 reported that the Rev. David Barton of the Church of the Resurrection in Rye had been placed on administrative leave while the Legionaries of Christ conducts an investigation into allegations of misconduct.
The original allegations did not take place in Westchester. The DA's office says in light of the seriousness of the allegations, it is conducting inquiries.
It strongly encourages anyone with information to call 914-995-TIPS. All information will be kept confidential.
