Catholic priest gets placed on leave

SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. (WSVN) -- A Catholic priest has been placed on leave after alleged sexual allegations.

The Archdiocese of Miami placed Father Rolando Garcia on administrative leave on Wednesday.

Garcia is the pastor at Saint Agatha Catholic Church in Southwest Miami-Dade.

The Archdiocese made the move just a day after a man came forward, filing a suit that claimed he was sexually abused by Father Garcia as a child.

The Archdiocese has launched its own internal investigation.
