The alleged abuse was said to have occurred in the late 1980's when Fr. Kearney was assigned to St. John the Evangelist in Prairieville, LA. Information about the age/gender of his alleged victim/victims and the nature of the alleged sexual abuse was not provided by the Diocese of Baton Rouge. He was removed from priestly ministry in 2002.
