The Columbus Catholic Diocese says allegations of sexual abuse by a Columbus priest have been ruled credible.  

69-year old Father Kevin Lutz has been placed on administrative leave. He retired from St. Mary's Parish last year. The allegation of abuse of a 14-year old boy in 1986 was made the day after his retirment.
