A former priest has been fired from his job as a religious teacher at a Brooklyn preparatory school after past allegations of sexually abusing minors were brought to light.
The Diocese of Brooklyn shared the conclusion of their investigation into Michael Melendez on Friday. Melendez was suspended from his position at St. Francis Preparatory High School at the onset of his investigation, but was terminated "effective immediately" when the Diocese found three separate allegations against Melendez to be credible.
