A former priest that once served in Schuylkill County has admitted to assaulting a minor.
According to Skook News, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Allentown reported 87 year old Father Stephen J. Halabura, who has been retired for 11 years, was found unsuitable for ministry after an investigation of an incident that he self-reported to the Diocese of Allentown.
Reports state that Father Halabura admitted sexually abusing a minor in the early 1980s.
After Father Halabura self-reported the incident, he was removed from ministry, and law enforcement was notified.
He remains barred from ministry.
